Hāwera Art Club (HAC) has been in existence for over 60 years in South Taranaki and aims to
support, encourage and provide educational opportunities to local artists in their chosen
creative pursuit(s) regardless of ability or prior learning. The Club meets monthly at the
Salvation Army Rooms on the first Friday of each month at 1 pm. There is also an informal
Open Art Group that meets 10 am – 3 pm every other Friday of the month and at the same
venue except on aforesaid first Friday of month.
HAC prides itself on being a friendly and welcoming group, with people from all walks of life
joining in to share their talents, insights and arts journey. On annual basis, HAC holds an
exhibition at Lysaght Watt Gallery, 4-6 Union St, Hāwera and presents Brush Strokes in 2024
to showcase members latest artworks in oils, acrylics, water colour, 3D, mixed media and
paper machè. This exhibition reveals our successes and maybe a few frustrations as we rise
to the challenge of picking up a paintbrush or supplementary tool to make art that is
important to us living in South Taranaki.
