A craft expo of locally handmade craft items involving around 20 community guilds and groups.
These include: Manawatu Spinners and Weavers, Rose City Quilters, Manawatu Embroiderer’s Guild, Manawatu Woodworkers Guild, Manawatu Lace Makers, Felt Makers
This gives a wide range of art and craft groups from our community a chance to showcase their fantastic artistic talent to local, national and international visitors.
Representatives from the above groups got together in August 2010 and since then have been working toward the event to be held in connection with the Our People Our Place 2011 Festival to support the international rugby games being held in Palmerston North. This will be and exhibition and sale of handmade craft items.
As well as the art and craft guilds/ groups we hope to showcase some of Manawatu’s fantastic artistic talent in the form of exhibitions and challenges. We have put out challenges to local schools and the groups taking part and hopefully will encourage younger school age Manawatu children to take an active part in the arts within their local community.
We will have people demonstrating their craft during opening hours.
The groups whom are organising this event are very passionate about their art/craft and look forward to showcasing it to local, national and international visitors.
