More than 400 artworks go on sale at the Estuary Arts Centre in Orewa on Queen’s Birthday Weekend to raise funds for Hospice services in the community.

The popular exhibition is in its 14th year and has raised well over $300,000 for Hospice since it was established in 2006. These funds help Hospice support local patients and families who are dealing with a life-threatening illness, whether it is cancer, heart or liver disease, or a neurological condition. With Hospice’s medical, emotional and social support, patients may keep living at home and doing the things they enjoy for as long as possible.   

This year’s Harbour Hospice Art Exhibition features perennial favourites such as Donna Massey, Lisa Bindon, Sarah C and Keith Grinter, as well as 28 newcomers – including the daughters of three long-established artists.

A huge range of styles, media and prices ensures there are artworks to suit all tastes and budgets.

The exhibition opens with a preview and auction from 7-9pm on Thursday May 30. Tickets are $25 and available online at https://harbourhospice.org.nz/event/hibiscus-art-exhibition-2019/ or by phoning Hibiscus House on (09) 421 9180.

The doors are then open from 9am to 4pm from May 31 to June 2, and 9am to 2pm on Monday June 3. Entry is by donation throughout the weekend.
