Village Arts Gallery
is Hokianga's community art gallery. Scheduled solo and group exhibitions plus a large showcase space highlight the area's established and emerging artists. Village Arts showcases contemporary painting, photography, mixed media, sculpture, furniture, object, jewellery, ceramics, and traditional and avant-garde Maori arts. The gallery participates in the annual Matariki and Northland Kauri festivals, and exhibits works from students completing the Hokianga Arts and Crafts Course. Village Arts also hosts an annual Ngai Tupoto exhibition as well as open and themed contributions, which create a full, varied and unique calendar. On Te Ara Manawa: The Heart Trail and Northland Art Trail, Village Arts is on the main street in historic Kohukohu on the northern shores of Aotearoa/New Zealand's spectacularly beautiful Hokianga Harbour. The gallery is the trading arm of Kohukohu Community Trust. (http://www.villagearts.co.nz)
