To your right the 'Archived Kete Link', if present, will take you to a snapshot of the original record. Tauranga Memories was made of several focus areas, called 'baskets'.

Initially created 8/09/2013, it underwent 16 edit, the last edit being 11/01/2017. Editors included: Tauranga City Libraries staff (Harley Couper). The original article may have included links, images etc that are not present here.DescriptionWell-known local artist Peter Cramond has brought together a group of fellow artists from our area to present an exhibition that reflects on the disaster and the events that followed the 5th of October 2011 tragedy.
The artworks will explore the idea that our actions directly impact on our environment and this has far reaching consequences for the welfare of our marine ecosystems and the future of our planet.
Different physical, emotional and spiritual responses of the artists following the event are to be seen in the many works on display.

The exhibition focusses our attention on individual responsibility, the importance of taking care of our precious environment and is an acknowledgement to the many people who responded by freely volunteering their time and energy to the extensive clean-up operation.
It is important for everyone involved to discuss and process the experience as part of the healing process.
Hopefully many of those who were involved will come along to the exhibition to share memories and rekindle friendships.
A percentage of any sales will go to a yet to be announced environmentally motivated cause.
Two years on we have witnessed a return to the health of marine life and a gradual healing of the environment.
The exhibition will feature work by this diverse group of talented artists:
Heidi Borchardt
Dan Couper
Nic Clegg
Peter Cramond
Owen Dippie
Jayne Ivimey
Dylan Keys
Tania Lewis-Rickard
Naomi Leonard
Simon Madgwick
Elliot Mason
Rob McGregor
James Ormsby
Tawhia Rickard
Dave Roy
Beaudean Cotton
Meliors Simms
Chris Parker
There will be audio visual presentations and music will be provided by local musician Alicesea.
Everyone is welcome to join the artists at Zeus Gallery on the fifth of October for an evening of art, reflection and celebration.
