Opening: Saturday 7 May 4–8pm
See the colours of Aotearoa through the eyes of Mohad Ben Fahmi, an established artist who has returned from Dubai to share the light that drew him back to this corner of the world. Impressions of Idyll reveals the stronghold these local vistas hold over the artist, from bright Paihia and Tauranga in the north to the mists of the West Coast down south. This series of larger-than-life paintings depart from Fahmi’s earlier practice; in over 50 years of active art practice, this is his first exhibition dedicated to the landscape genre.
Depot Sound has long been involved in supporting emerging local songwriters/bands and we are excited to announce that we will once again be running our North Shore Schools songwriting competition as part of New Zealand Music Month!
This was a huge success last year, with over sixty entries, and we’d love to provide the opportunity once again for local students to have the chance to come back and make use of the studios.
Submissions end on 31 May.
