SubText Event tonight at Karori

Don’t forget that tonight at Karori library is the annual SubText games night. It starts at 6pm, and there will be lots to do and food to eat. The library will be closed to the public so you will have the place to yourselves. At last – an opportunity to run around and eat junk food in a library! A dream fulfilled for many of us.

Interesting facts about Karori; the name possibly comes from a Maori word relating to ‘snare’, or trap. Karori became part of Wellington in 1920, and has one of the largest cemeteries in New Zealand.

Be a ‘darling’ of the art world for a night! Ruth Gotlieb Library, Kilbirnie, is staging its very own art competition with a grand gallery opening on Friday 22nd Aug 2008, 6-8pm.

There’s no theme for the art and your work can be in any media; painting, sketching, photography, sculpture or textiles…let your imagination run wild. Or if you’ve got a piece already that you’re extremely proud of, enter that!

Don’t forget to invite friends and family, this is about showing off how talented you are and basking in the glory! There will be live music and refreshments not to mention master classes and demonstrations by local guest artists ranging from fashion sketching to life drawing…Come and be inspired!

The boring but essential small print: This competition is open to teens aged 13-17 (registered Subtext entrants or not). Artwork should be delivered to Kilbirnie Library at any point between 1st July and 18th August, with your name, contact phone number and age attached. Winners will be announced on the evening of the gallery opening and there will be one overall winner to whom will be awarded an awesome mystery prize. Judges decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
