Show Synopsis

Waiheke Represent brings together a vibrant cross-section of the island’s most dynamic creative voices in a celebratory group exhibition. This showcase highlights the breadth and depth of talent that thrives within the Waiheke community, from established practitioners to emerging artists making their mark.

At the heart of the exhibition is a striking salon-style wall, alive with paintings that reflect the diverse perspectives and practices of the artists. Alongside this, visitors will encounter a range of works across media, each revealing a personal connection to place, culture, and imagination.

Featuring names such as Simon Deighton, Mike Crawshaw, Paul Dashwood, Emma Hughes, Oliver Stretton-Pow, Daisy Saaiman, and many more, Waiheke Represent is both a celebration and a snapshot of the island’s creative energy. Together, these works illustrate the rich artistic landscape of Waiheke—where ideas collide, stories are shared, and the community itself becomes the canvas.
