Friday 29th July, 6pm
Illot Theatre, Wellington Town Hall.
Three property owners and managers, four artists and an engaged audience are coming together to discuss the question: how can vacant commercial space be more creatively utilised to provide a more vital inner-city?
You’re invited to attend The Urban Dream Brokerage, a live art and property panel pitching session. In a live local twist on reality TV formats like Dragon’s Den, artists and then property developers and owners pitch their creative ideas for city vacant spaces to a panel of their opposite. Walking down the city street, what does your dream realty look like?
The Wellington City Council has at last started the process of telling you about WGTN 2040, the proposed Vision for the future – 29 years in the future to be exact.
It has been a long time coming – a couple of years at least, but this is one of the most important consultations that the Council has ever asked the Wellington public for their opinion on. We would encourage all Wellingtonians to have some input on this – and we would also like to hear your views, so that we can also table a submission from the Architectural Centre.
In the mean time - here’s a round up on projects completing, underway, or even just starting off, as there a couple of new cranes that have appeared over Christmas.
The big push around Wellington at the moment is of course the Housing Upgrade Project. A number of well-respected practices around town have got a project or two in there - with a total of about 20 WCC housing projects to upgrade, we’re guessing there is some work in there to last for a few years
A solo physical theatre kaleidoscope molded together from lost pieces of forgotten acts. Endling combines tiny pieces of inventive physical comedy in a curation of timeless, rambling, joyful jaunts in this purposefully meaningless piece of entertainment. Thom Monckton has been making solo physical theatre pieces for over 10 years, and Endling presents the favorite fingers of this body of work waving goodbye before they disappear forever.
It’s our favourite time of the year again!! Toi Pōneke Arts Centre studio residents’ welcome audiences and community to Toi Pōneke gallery for our annual end of year pay and carry exhibition.
