‘Everything Changes’ exhibition featuring en plein air (outdoor painting) works by Shifra Gassner.
Opening night – April 29, 6-9pm
Exhibition open Sundays 10am-2pm & weekdays 10am-2pm until May 27
at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart St, Raglan
The paintings were created over a year of setting up outside and observing the land and seascapes of Raglan. “I started making up landscapes from my head. Then I copied masters from books. By the time summer came, it became clear the virus (Covid) was not transferred easily outdoors. Being outside became the safe place to be. My son fished while I painted. It was the perfect duet.” Some of the changes in Shifra’s life were momentous; a move from the United States to New Zealand with her son brought them to Raglan to be near his father. “We came to New Zealand to experience the world without Covid, but of course that all changed. I continued to paint everyday outside. I learned how to paint in the rain, wind, in intense sun, near cows, with insects, and curious dogs.”
Before coming to New Zealand, Shifra had been teaching in Iowa and in March 2022 when spring break started school just never went back. “I taught science by way of crafts in a children’s museum, afterschool and holiday programmes. My closets were full of art materials. With everything changing now, this became the moment to make art. To just do it.” “When I paint a scene, I try to represent the one thing that attracted me to the scene truthfully. I wait for the light to change throughout the day, the tides to change detectably every three hours, the colour to change in each season. Once I’ve captured the scene and composition, I complete my work indoors.”
Shifra says the beauty of nature transcends the stress that change can bring, and painting became a form of release and activism. “It has been a beautiful experience to be outside painting. Being outside in awe of nature motivates me to fight for the Earth. At some point the global crisis will change from Covid to Climate Crisis. As I closely observe, the contours of the hill, the angle of the limestone outcroppings, the shadow between the rocks that the receding tide has revealed, the shape of tree clusters, I know the impacts of climate change are about to change the landscape

One of the great masters of photography, the German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton made a name for himself exploring the female form.
Through candid interviews with Grace Jones, Charlotte Rampling, Isabella Rossellini, Anna Wintour, Claudia Schiffer, Marianne Faithfull, and Newton's Australian wife June, this documentary captures his legacy and seeks to answer questions.
The film features Newton's own home movies, archival footage (including a pointed exchange with Susan Sontag) and, of course, scores of iconic Newton photographs. The result: a wildly entertaining portrait of a controversial genius.
"A fascinating film." - The Guardian
"An engaging and surprisingly playful documentary about the man who was arguably the most transgressive photographer to emerge from the 1960s and '70s..." - Variety
Director: Gero von Boehm
Cast: Isabella Rossellini, Charlotte Rampling, Anna Wintour, Grace Jones, Hanna Schygulla, Claudia Schiffer

Exhibition open Sundays 10am-2pm & weekdays 10am-2pm until May 27
at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart St, Raglan
The paintings were created over a year of setting up outside and observing the land and seascapes of Raglan. “I started making up landscapes from my head. Then I copied masters from books. By the time summer came, it became clear the virus (Covid) was not transferred easily outdoors. Being outside became the safe place to be. My son fished while I painted. It was the perfect duet.” Some of the changes in Shifra’s life were momentous; a move from the United States to New Zealand with her son brought them to Raglan to be near his father. “We came to New Zealand to experience the world without Covid, but of course that all changed. I continued to paint everyday outside. I learned how to paint in the rain, wind, in intense sun, near cows, with insects, and curious dogs.”
Before coming to New Zealand, Shifra had been teaching in Iowa and in March 2022 when spring break started school just never went back. “I taught science by way of crafts in a children’s museum, afterschool and holiday programmes. My closets were full of art materials. With everything changing now, this became the moment to make art. To just do it.” “When I paint a scene, I try to represent the one thing that attracted me to the scene truthfully. I wait for the light to change throughout the day, the tides to change detectably every three hours, the colour to change in each season. Once I’ve captured the scene and composition, I complete my work indoors.”
Shifra says the beauty of nature transcends the stress that change can bring, and painting became a form of release and activism. “It has been a beautiful experience to be outside painting. Being outside in awe of nature motivates me to fight for the Earth. At some point the global crisis will change from Covid to Climate Crisis. As I closely observe, the contours of the hill, the angle of the limestone outcroppings, the shadow between the rocks that the receding tide has revealed, the shape of tree clusters, I know the impacts of climate change are about to change the landscape

I continued to paint everyday outside. I learned how to paint in the rain, wind, in intense sun, near cows, with insects, and curious dogs.”
Before coming to New Zealand, Shifra had been teaching in Iowa and in March 2022 when spring break started school just never went back. “I taught science by way of crafts in a children’s museum, afterschool and holiday programmes. My closets were full of art materials. With everything changing now, this became the moment to make art. To just do it.” “When I paint a scene, I try to represent the one thing that attracted me to the scene truthfully. I wait for the light to change throughout the day, the tides to change detectably every three hours, the colour to change in each season. Once I’ve captured the scene and composition, I complete my work indoors.”
Shifra says the beauty of nature transcends the stress that change can bring, and painting became a form of release and activism. “It has been a beautiful experience to be outside painting. Being outside in awe of nature motivates me to fight for the Earth. At some point the global crisis will change from Covid to Climate Crisis. As I closely observe, the contours of the hill, the angle of the limestone outcroppings, the shadow between the rocks that the receding tide has revealed, the shape of tree clusters, I know the impacts of climate change are about to change the landscape

The paintings were created over a year of setting up outside and observing the land and seascapes of Raglan. “I started making up landscapes from my head. Then I copied masters from books.

Karioi Quilters - second Thursday of every month.
The Karioi Quilters have been making high quality, natural fibre, artistic quilts for many years. A patchwork and quilting group, the members meet to share knowledge and skills and enjoy creating in good company.
Members work on their own projects ranging from cot to queen-sized quilts. Many long enjoyable hours are spent working on intricate artistic fabric creations. A focus on pure natural fibres, especially cottons, results in high quality handworks which often become treasured family items. Group co-ordinator is Judy Levy.
New members are always welcome to come along to these casual meetings to work on their own projects and learn quilting techniques from a group of very creative craftspeople.
Meetings are held at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre from 10am to 1pm on the second Thursday of every month. So join them for a coffee and bring your lunch. Donation of $2 to help with the rent.

Finalist for the APRA Best Country Music Song 2021 award, Kendall Elise has revealed new dates for her Let The Night In album release tour. Roaming the range from soul-stirring country-gothic ballads to full-blown barnstormers, the Papakura songwriter launched her second studio record to significant acclaim in late August. It'll be well worth the wait when Elise with band The Belgraves and support Beth Torrance finally hit (hopefully unrestricted) stages across the North Island in February, March and April 2022.
Concerts at the Arts Centre are running under the Orange Covid setting with face mask recommended.

Being outside in awe of nature motivates me to fight for the Earth. At some point the global crisis will change from Covid to Climate Crisis. As I closely observe, the contours of the hill, the angle of the limestone outcroppings, the shadow between the rocks that the receding tide has revealed, the shape of tree clusters, I know the impacts of climate change are about to change the landscape

One of the great masters of photography, the German-Australian photographer Helmut Newton made a name for himself exploring the female form.
Through candid interviews with Grace Jones, Charlotte Rampling, Isabella Rossellini, Anna Wintour, Claudia Schiffer, Marianne Faithfull, and Newton's Australian wife June, this documentary captures his legacy and seeks to answer questions.
The film features Newton's own home movies, archival footage (including a pointed exchange with Susan Sontag) and, of course, scores of iconic Newton photographs. The result: a wildly entertaining portrait of a controversial genius.
"A fascinating film." - The Guardian
"An engaging and surprisingly playful documentary about the man who was arguably the most transgressive photographer to emerge from the 1960s and '70s..." - Variety
Director: Gero von Boehm
Cast: Isabella Rossellini, Charlotte Rampling, Anna Wintour, Grace Jones, Hanna Schygulla, Claudia Schiffer

‘Everything Changes’ exhibition featuring en plein air (outdoor painting) works by Shifra Gassner.
Exhibition open Sundays 10am-2pm & weekdays 10am-2pm until May 27
at Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart St, Raglan
The paintings were created over a year of setting up outside and observing the land and seascapes of Raglan. “I started making up landscapes from my head. Then I copied masters from books. By the time summer came, it became clear the virus (Covid) was not transferred easily outdoors. Being outside became the safe place to be. My son fished while I painted. It was the perfect duet.” Some of the changes in Shifra’s life were momentous; a move from the United States to New Zealand with her son brought them to Raglan to be near his father. “We came to New Zealand to experience the world without Covid, but of course that all changed. I continued to paint everyday outside. I learned how to paint in the rain, wind, in intense sun, near cows, with insects, and curious dogs.”
Before coming to New Zealand, Shifra had been teaching in Iowa and in March 2022 when spring break started school just never went back. “I taught science by way of crafts in a children’s museum, afterschool and holiday programmes. My closets were full of art materials. With everything changing now, this became the moment to make art. To just do it.” “When I paint a scene, I try to represent the one thing that attracted me to the scene truthfully. I wait for the light to change throughout the day, the tides to change detectably every three hours, the colour to change in each season. Once I’ve captured the scene and composition, I complete my work indoors.”
Shifra says the beauty of nature transcends the stress that change can bring, and painting became a form of release and activism. “It has been a beautiful experience to be outside painting. Being outside in awe of nature motivates me to fight for the Earth. At some point the global crisis will change from Covid to Climate Crisis. As I closely observe, the contours of the hill, the angle of the limestone outcroppings, the shadow between the rocks that the receding tide has revealed, the shape of tree clusters, I know the impacts of climate change are about to change the landscape

Return to the roots for singer-songwriter with international music career.
After playing in over 60 countries, Kiwi singer-songwriter Steven Jaymes is back playing a NZ tour. Originally from Oamaru, Steven’s professional music career began when he toured NZ at 17 years of age, soon followed by Australia, and beyond.
Steven’s beautifully gravelly voice and fabulously engaging piano playing have led him to give concerts all over the US, Europe and Asia, including festival and prestigious venues like London’s Ronnie Scott’s and The Bitter End in New York.
While Steven is no stranger to large audiences, he says he equally really enjoys playing in small intimate venues, where there is a true interconnectedness with the people in the room: “I’m really excited to be sharing my music, and in particular the new songs I’ve written since returning to NZ, with people of my home region”. In the past decades, friends and family had to content themselves with listening to him online, via his many albums, but he says that “real magic happens in live performances”. He says he’s very much looking forward to taking his audience on a special journey, by combining his songs with stories from the countries he’s visited.

★★★★ "A film humming with vitality and performances so gloriously uninhibited" - The Sydney Morning Herald
Box office winner 2022 NZ Scandi Film Festival
It’s July 29, 1981. In the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Lady Diana Spencer marries Prince Charles. The same day, another celebration takes place in the canteen of a Norwegian small-town factory. It’s the newly-weds LIV and TERJE’S wedding party. In the pram lies their new-born daughter, DIANA, who, like her famous namesake, will be facing a lot of chaos in the years to come thanks to her parents.
The wedding, and following years, are less glamorous than the royal counterpart, but indisputably much more fun. Through the eyes of Diana, we witness the rollercoaster of her parent’s marriage. To her, they are the worst parents in the world. Miles away from doing a decent job, constantly fighting yet still in love by the time Diana is preparing for her own marriage 30 years later.

★★★★ "A film humming with vitality and performances so gloriously uninhibited" - The Sydney Morning Herald
Box office winner 2022 NZ Scandi Film Festival
It’s July 29, 1981. In the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Lady Diana Spencer marries Prince Charles. The same day, another celebration takes place in the canteen of a Norwegian small-town factory. It’s the newly-weds LIV and TERJE’S wedding party. In the pram lies their new-born daughter, DIANA, who, like her famous namesake, will be facing a lot of chaos in the years to come thanks to her parents.

Memories tell us the story of who we are. If those memories vanish, whose stories will take their place?

When he suffers amnesia following a stroke, a lonely local woman Millie (Michelle Fairley, Game of Thrones) helps him acclimate back to his life. But she claims they were once in a relationship before his accident. This is a fragile lie that Millie must protect to keep their burgeoning romance alive, but at what cost?
