The Ultimate New Zealand Travel Guide
Once a year Mercury Bay Art Escape creates a fantastic opportunity to visit the many artists and galleries in the area from a small village north of Whitianga, Kuaotuna, south through Whitianga, Cooks Beach, Hahei, Hot Water Beach, Whenuakite to Tairua.
I made it a point to be there this year ( March 2015 - two weekends).
Now I am pretty much of a nut when it comes to seeing the work of talented artists and craftspeople. I find it one of the best ways to enjoy life and all its pleasures. Being able to meet and talk with the artists is a real wonderful experience for me and the ones in the Mercury Bay area provided me with a fabulous time getting to see their work and getting to know the artist.
Mercury Bay Escape is a registered Charitable Trust committed to its artists and the community that began in 2006.
They produce a wonderful guide each year - The Mercury Bay Art Escape - listing the participating artists, detailed maps and information about each one that can be used year round when you visit the area. Check on their website.

How pleasant to have the opportunity to visit such an accomplished artist that produces such exquisite work. Mercury bay can be proud. Wendy also works out oh her South Auckland studio and attends workshops in the US to find new and exciting materials and techniques.
A real bonus for those of you living in her area she also provides "Give it A Go" workshops. You do not need an art background. She can help you bring out that hidden talent you wish to have.........
