Exhibition Opening– ‘Everything Changes’Exhibition Opening– ‘Everything Changes’ – 
‘Everything Changes’ exhibition featuring en plein air (outdoor painting) works by Shifra Gassner. Opening night – April 29, 6-9pm 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 Taiwhanga Whakaatu | The Gallery at the Old School 5 Stewart St Raglan, Coastal Waikato 3225 New Zealand 078250023 |

‘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 Taiwhanga Whakaatu | The Gallery at the Old School 5 Stewart St Raglan, Coastal Waikato 3225 New Zealand 078250023 |

Exhibition – ‘Everything Changes’Exhibition – ‘Everything Changes’ –
‘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 Taiwhanga Whakaatu | The Gallery at the Old School 5 Stewart St Raglan, Coastal Waikato 3225 New Zealand 078250023 |

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.

‘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 Taiwhanga Whakaatu | The Gallery at the Old School 5 Stewart St Raglan, Coastal Waikato 3225 New Zealand 078250023 |

★★★★ "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.
