Cabinet art in your neighbourhood
Emma Gustafson: Coromandel Nature
We're collaborating with Chorus again in 2024 to get Chorus cabinets painted by local artists. We'll be calling for designs in August 2024, so keep an eye on this page.
Mayor Len Salt says the Chorus Cabinet Art Programme supports artists to showcase their talents.
“We have so many high-quality artists in the Coromandel, it’s great for them to have this opportunity to display their work. I’m really impressed with the designs we received and we’re looking forward to partnering with Chorus on their Cabinet Art Programme.”
Last year’s designs included beautiful beach landscapes, a mermaid sitting on the rocks at the end of Lonely Bay, and stunning artwork of Coromandel scenery.
Chorus is pleased that the partnership with our Council is continuing for 2024 and Community Relations Manager Jo Seddon says the collaboration "helps us work with more local artists and bring their creativity to life."
“We’re hoping that this is just the beginning.”
Artists who last year painted their designs on cabinets around the district included:
