Postcards to Tomorrow
Two very special exhibitions have been commisioned to celebrate the unique landscape and cultural diversity of this rich area:

LANDMARKS OF TE ARAWA
Photographer Mark Adams and historian Don Stafford join forces to document a variety of landmarks with historical and spiritual significance. Treasured places of the old world will be interpreted along with more recent but fast disappearing city sites.

ROTORUA VISUAL 1963 - 2000 - ANS WESTRA
Photographs taken by "living treasure" Westra become an historical document comparing changes over time. Known for her unobtrusive and perceptive style, the artist has a particular affection for the area and it's people.

Nov. 10th - Feb 2001.
Glen Jowitt - Pacific Style
Twenty eight cibachrome prints tell a vivid story of the style that characterises the South Pacific nations of cook Islands, Fiji, Tonga Tahiti, Vanuatu, Nuie, the Solomon Islands, New Caladonea and Samoa.
