Morning Tea Thursday | Final Public Event

Please join us at {Suite} Wellington for morning tea at 10.30am Thursday 19 December, to celebrate the conclusion of Nō hea koe? Ko wai koe? a community campaign around Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington to identify more people in Ans Westra's photos. This project has been very successful, with a huge number of people contacting us to provide additional details of locations, dates, friends and whānau portrayed in the images.

Thursday’s morning tea will be the final public event at {Suite} Wellington, coinciding with the lease ending on our Cuba Street space. After 17 incredible years in Wellington we plan now to concentrate our energy on {Suite} Ponsonby, which is well established in Auckland. We hope you keep in touch and visit us there. Both galleries will close for the year on Friday 20 December. {Suite} Ponsonby is open by appointment through January and will reopen with usual hours on Tuesday 28 January.

Wellington will remain the base for the Ans Westra collection via the Westra Vault in Courtenay Place where all of Ans' work and archival material is now stored. We continue to showcase {Suite} exhibitions and artists on our website and social media. We also plan to focus on developing wider opportunities like art fairs in Australia, and projects around New Zealand including Christchurch, the Hawke's Bay and Wellington.

As always, we appreciate your ongoing support and interest in our artists.
