What's on at the library

Art @ the Library

Westland Arts Incorporated and Westland District Library are collaborating to make a free exhibition space available.

Art @ the Library is a small, nimble and flexible project that aims to provide exhibition space for artistic and innovative proposals.

Current Exhibit:

Hokitika Art Group

Art Group statement:

The Hokitika Art Group was founded by local artists in 1976. Over the years, new members joined the Group, and many members have passed on and are sadly missed.

The Art Group has exhibited regularly in the Carnegie Gallery until the 2011 earthquake caused the Carnegie to be closed.

Currently, our Art Group meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Church of Christ Hall on the corner of Sale and Stafford Streets at 10.30 am.

New members are welcome.
