    • South Coast Gallery on Cuba - 29 June, 169 Cuba Street
      • It’s almost a blink-and-you’ll miss it affair. Hidden away in a little nook down Cuba Street, is the inner-city child of Island Bays finest art space - South Coast Gallery on Cuba. The Island Bay version of the gallery was first established in 2006, a neat little place to view and pick up some local or international artworks - after a little relax time on the beach that is. The Bay version is view by appointment, so it’s kinda nice to just be able to amble in and out of the Cuba premises whilst on the way to/from work or play.

    • Slope 2009 – 12 June, Manky Chops Gallery
      • I recall the first time I spotted the haunting portraits of Wellington-based artist, Brad Williams / Slope. It was a couple of years ago at the opening of an Affordable Art Show and they were causing quite the fuss. Since then I have noticed his distinctive works adorning the walls of many Wellington galleries, cafes and bars. So I was uber-stoked when I learnt he was exhibiting at Manky Chops this month.
