First Thursdays: Collage Your Internal Self-Portrait Workshop with Naomi Azoulay

Join us for First Thursdays in Te Hau Kapua - Devonport

This workshop guides participants on a journey of self-expression to tap into their intuition. Participants curate symbolic portraits reflecting their individuality by selecting images, colours, and textures that resonate with them and experimenting with various techniques, from spontaneous tearing to precise detail cutting. The process embraces happy accidents and unexpected surprises, encouraging participants to explore the limitless possibilities of Intuitive Collage.

Tickets are $10 and cover all materials and refreshments courtesy of our hospitality partner Toi Toi Wines. Koha will be accepted upon entry.

As a First Thursdays partner, The Vic Devonport is showing a Series of Artist Films curated by local conceptual artist and photographer Mickey Smith. Screening on 3 October, 8pm - KUSAMA - INFINITY (M)

We invite you to enjoy a night out in Devonport, soak up an evening of art, culture, food and entertainment, support local businesses, and have fun! We hope to grow this series and showcase the amazing creatives and artists in Devonport and work in partnership with our local community.
