Some of the materials used in works that will be on show include: pantyhose, concrete, silk, currency, porcelain, and muka, as well as more traditional materials. Work in this exhibition is sure to speak to you.

'Speak 2' echoes the title of the 2011/12 Whitireia jewellery catalogue 'Speak', which will be available to view and buy at the exhibition.

Taboo or not Taboo: that is the question is an exhibition of rings exploring the concept of wearability, by first year Whitireia jewellery students.

They include: Vanessa Arthur, Adele Carpinter, Fran Carter, Georgia Clack, Carol Dacre, Karren Dale, Mieke DeCourt, Eleanor Denton, Tom Heynes, Tamsin Hooper, Milla Khmel, Siobhan McCarthy, Mahina Mete, Yozinzy Nachappa, Christine Nightingale, Amelia Pascoe, Helen Punton, Amber Samara, Moniek Schrijer, Jasmin Scott, Long Shi, Campbell Sims, Chloe Rose Taylor, Caroline Thomas, Camille Walton, and Keri-Mei Zagrobelna.

Several of the exhibitors have already won prestigious awards and have been invited to exhibit their work nationally and internationally.

THROUGH CHILDREN'S EYES: AN EXHIBITION BY THE CHILDREN OF MIRAMAR NORTH KINDERGARTEN.

OPENING: 5.30 - 7.30pm Tuesday 24 April.
OPEN: Closed Wednesday (Anzac Day). Thursday - Friday 2.00 - 6.00pm and Saturday 10.00am - 4.00pm.

The world through children's eyes is completely different to how adults see it. Art is a powerful way for them to communicate what they see and what is important to them. They are not restricted or limited by adult concepts and ideas.

This exhibition is a collection of photos, taken by the children of the Miramar North Kindergarten community as well as art of other media such as painting, drawing and sculpture.
