Our Art Walk is 5 hours long, but is done at a very leisurely pace so you can enjoy both the art and the scenery. Visit art galleries in Oneroa, including an artists’ collective and the Community Art Gallery. Tour the local sculpture park and learn about this intriguing array of outdoor art. Visit sculptors and painters in their studios and even get to meet an artisan shoemaker. Enjoy lunch at Church Bay Studio, the spectacular home of artist Gabriella Lewenz (cost of lunch is included in your tour fee). Walk through the Atawhai-Whenua Forest & Bird Reserve to the Community Gallery where we finish.
