Visitors to Maungawhau | Mt Eden during Matariki will be welcomed to an interactive and multi-dimensional art exhibition featuring works from local artists that took part in an arts therapy programme facilitated by community organisation PARS (People at Risk Solutions) in Auckland.

The theme Whakapuakitanga: Expressions was developed by the artists and speaks to the emergence of creativity and a journey of renewal, discovery and growth. The artists will exhibit their works during Matariki and their whānau will have a special preview before the exhibition opens to the public.

PARS has a legacy of over 100 years supporting people at risk who have been affected by a journey through the justice system. As part of their work to enable and empower freedom through growth in their clients, the arts programme was introduced this year with support of the wider community including volunteers giving their time to work alongside the artists.

The Learning and Outreach team from Auckland Art Gallery | Toi o Tāmaki has worked alongside PARS providing exhibition and curatorial advisory as well as mentoring support by experienced artist Ioane Ioane. Arts Access Aotearoa | Putanga Toi ki Aotearoa has also provided valuable guidance to PARS to support the development of the arts therapy programme.

The exhibition is being hosted at Maungawhau | Mt Eden with the support of the Tūpuna Maunga Authority, the administration body for Maungawhau and the Tūpuna Taonga Trust who represent Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau - the 13 mana whenua owners of Maungawhau. The artists are inspired by the history of Maungawhau as a place of spiritual and cultural significance as they connect more closely to their whenua and place of belonging.

There are 10 artists exhibiting works across a range of artforms and they will be in residence during the exhibition along with volunteers and PARS team members who have also contributed their artistic skills to the project.

The exhibition will be held on Maungawhau (Mt Eden) at the Kiosk and has a public viewing on 
Saturday 6 July, open to the public from 10 am through to 4 pm (gold coin koha/donation), with kai and real fruit ice-cream for sale.
