Expression

The region’s beauty and mystery gives the inspiration for the painting, sculpture and craft of its people, and has given rise to individual galleries and the development of Mangaweka as a renowned art centre. Appreciate the talent of the artists, glass casters, photographers and craftsmen; enjoy the special exhibitions.

The richness of the soil and landscape is reflected in strong pastures and healthy stock and crops, and nestled amongst all this are the gardeners and horticulturalists, creating beauty with plants and flowers from the very earth that has supported the Rangitikei economy for nearly 200 years.
