Get ready for the best wine and paint party in New Zealand.  No artistic experience required (we promise!).

We’ll be painting Kakapo by Johannes Keulemans. We’ll be viewing Kuelemans work from the works on paper collection store especially for you to get up close with. Te Papa Art Curator Rebecca Rice will kick the evening off speaking about Kuelemans and the development of his work. Then Paintvine artist Debbie Anderson will guide us through creating our own versions of the Kākāpō to take home at the end of the evening in a fun and easy workshop. Join us for this private event where we’ll be treated to drinks & snacks in Espresso, gain exclusive access to the collection store, then enjoy music, beautiful art and create something new in the Toi Art gallery.

Spaces are limited to 40, so book early to avoid missing out!

Drink. Paint. Just don’t drink the paint.
