📸 Installing This Week at Feilding Art Centre – Photo Safari! 📸

We're excited to be installing Photo Safari: A Photographic Journey in Nine Different Directions at the Feilding Art Centre this week.

Created by a group of nine Manawatū–Whanganui photographers, this exhibition celebrates the creative journeys we've shared since meeting through UCOL photography courses in 2024. While each photographer has developed their own unique style, we continue to explore, learn, and create together through our regular photo safaris.

The exhibition features a diverse range of subjects, from nature and landscapes to people and everyday moments, each reflecting a different way of seeing the world. Together, the works highlight the power of perspective and the many stories that can be captured through a camera lens.

✨ Join us for the opening night on Friday 4 September at 5:30pm. ✨

We would love to see you there as we celebrate this exciting milestone and share our work with the community.

More often than not, the Feilding Art Centre is open on Saturday afternoons for our Saturday Studio (Have-a-Go Group), so we thought we'd make it official!

Why not pop in today and see this creative crew in action? Browse our current exhibition and discover the latest additions to our shop, featuring original handmade treasures created by local artists and makers.

The more support we receive, the more often we can keep our doors open on Saturdays. 😊

See you this afternoon!
