Episode Details

Toi Mahara gallery director Janet Bayly offers the whakatauki: ‘ahakoa he iti he pounamu’, when she speaks of the Kāpiti Coast’s regional Gallery in Waikanae. “The gift of something small but precious.” Small, precious and also shiny new, the opening of an Athfield Architects designed purpose-built building for Toi Mahara has been 20 years in the making. A picturesque one hour train ride north of Wellington, the public gallery has opened its doors with a weekend of celebrations October 28 to 29.
