This incredible week long art festival is kicking off tomorrow and we can’t wait to see you there! Please join us at opening night tomorrow night (Tuesday) at 5pm, or drop in during the week.

Art and Pain: Living with chronic pain through art, is a powerful and deeply personal exhibition by one of our migraine community members, Mara Elwood. Through her work, Mara shares insights into living with chronic pain, offering both reflection and connection through creative expression.

This is more than an exhibition – you’ll also have the opportunity to become part of the experience. Visitors are invited to contribute to a co-created art installation and try one of the techniques used in a daily year-long practice piece Mara will be exhibiting.

Mara is also using this exhibition as a fundraiser for Migraine Foundation Aotearoa New Zealand, which we’re incredibly grateful for. All proceeds from sales of the show, including ceramic pieces, Amurigumi creatures, and upcycled canvas multimedia art will be donated to the foundation to support our advocacy work.

Please support Mara and her exhibition by bringing your friends and family along during the week and sharing with you network.
