SUMMARY:Community Draw
DESCRIPTION:13 October: Drawing the Land – Finding your Own Way with Priscilla Claire \nJoin contemporary landscape artist Priscilla Clare for a fun and relaxed 90-minute drawing class\, where you’ll explore the simple sketching practice at the heart of her creative process. We’ll start with the basics of landscape drawing looking at shape\, composition and how to capture the feeling of a place. From there\, Priscilla will show you playful ways to bring your landscape to life with colour\, texture and imagination. No drawing experience is needed! Working with just paper and coloured pencils\, you’ll experiment\, have fun and discover how simple marks and colour can turn into a lively\, expressive landscape drawing. \n‍ \nAbout your Facilitator: Priscilla Clare is a contemporary landscape artist based in  Queenstown\, New Zealand. She creates vibrant paintings inspired by the  country’s mountains\, lakes\, and forests\, reimagining familiar landscapes as  dreamlike environments where colour\, light\, and atmosphere become as  important as geography.    She has created art her whole life but began oil painting in 2016 after she  moved to New Zealand. Time spent outdoors is central to her process. Whether  hiking or cycling through the landscapes surrounding her home\, she gathers  sketches\, photographs\, and impressions that inform her studio practice. \n‍ \nDetails: Please bring a sketchbook\, pencil and any other materials you’d like to use. We will have limited supplies. \n‍ \nAbout Community Draw at Te Atamira: Join us with sketchbook and pencil in hand for Community Draw. This free event is held every second Tuesday of the month. No experience necessary – come along and embrace the joy of different approaches to drawing. \n‍ \nThank you to Central Lakes Trust for bringing creativity to our community.

SUMMARY:Whenu ki te Whenua | The Strands that Connect Us to the Land
DESCRIPTION:Each work carries kōrero of resource\, process\, whakapapa\, and belonging\, showing how ancestral practice continues to move\, breathe\, and take form in the present. Bringing together learning\, creativity\, and community across the Whakatipu Basin and Murihiku\, Whenu Ki Te Whenua celebrates tauira as emerging kaitiaki of knowledge. Their hands carry forward mātauranga\, transforming natural materials into taonga rich with memory\, skill\, and cultural expression. \nAt the beginning of this journey is Nanny Roka\, who planted the seeds of Poipoia te Kākano kia Puāwai and set each tauira upon a poutama — a pathway of learning\, growth\, and discovery. Like its ascending steps\, each lesson and achievement builds upon the last\, guiding tauira to where they stand today. \nPresented across three levels of study\, the works trace each student’s creative journey — from early discovery to confident practice. Through raranga and whatu\, every whenu becomes a line of whakapapa\, every pattern a voice\, and every kete or kākahu a vessel for connection to whenua and whānau. At its heart is Whiria te Tāngata — the weaving together of people. \nWe warmly invite the community to Te Atamira to experience the wairua\, beauty\, and strength woven through each taonga\, and to witness how the strands of culture\, learning\, and place continue to bind us together. \n‍ \n“E kore e taea e te whenu kotahi ki te raranga i te whāriki kia mōhio tātou ki a tātou.” \n“The tapestry of understanding cannot be woven by one strand alone.”

SUMMARY:Songsmiths of the South | Live at Te Atamira
DESCRIPTION:The project\, facilitated by Te Atamira supported by the Stout Trust and Lotteries\, emerged from a desire to cultivate a stronger sense of musical community in Tāhuna Queenstown – creating space for musicians\, songwriters and soundmakers from across the region to come together\, share\, listen and collaborate. \nLed by local songwriter\, producer and engineer Solomon Crook\, the project brought local artists together through a series of collaborative writing sessions\, exploring songwriting in relation to Tāhuna – its mountains\, waters and light. \nAcross the project\, artists were given space to write\, experiment\, listen and collaborate\, drawing from their own experiences and their relationship with the environment around them. \n  \nThe result is a community album of original music\, with each song carrying its own perspective while\, together\, forming a collective expression of the people and environment that shaped it. \n  \nNow\, the Songsmiths come together at Te Atamira to bring this work to life\, taking the project from collaborative creative development into a shared live experience for the community. Expect an evening of original music\, storytelling and collaboration\, featuring a diverse range of voices\, instruments and musical practices. The artists will share the songs created through the project\, alongside stories of the places\, experiences and ideas that inspired them. \n  \nFrom the mountains and waters of Queenstown Lakes to the people who call this place home\, Songsmiths of the South is a musical portrait of Tāhuna\, created through connection\, collaboration and a shared love of music. \n  \nMeet the Songsmiths \nSolomon Crook \nPania Witoko \nMark Wilson \nMatt Tyrrell \nErica Hastie \nShane Woolridge \nLeanne Malcolm \nMala Januszkiewicz \nViolet Hirst \nPaul Marcham \nClaire Forrestor \nBreda McCarthy \nTom Maxwell \nJulian Shine \nGeorge Newhouse \nNaima Fifita
