St Chads Rotorua is fortunate to have great talent. It takes months for our tāngata whaikaha vision to come into life for an individual or group art piece or wood craft. Time and materials. Your help now will give our people the tools and materials they need. Wood, glue, varnish, paint, tiles, aluminium, special glass, saws, art paper, screwdrivers are all important. These are just some of the practical elements that turn into works of wonder. We’ll share pictures as we go. You’ll see your how your donation inspired great woodwork and art.

We look forward to updating you on St Chads year in review!

We’re excited to host Carols by Candlelight for the first time in several years.

Please join us at St Chads on Tuesday 12 December at 6pm for a night to remember. We also plan on opening the gallery for an exclusive shopping night.

See you there!

We cordially invite you to the opening of our annual Art Exhibition!

Join us on Friday September 8 at 6pm at Rotorua Arts Village. We’ve entitled our exhibition ‘Not Just Black and White.’

We can’t wait to share with you the amazing pieces created by our talented tāngata whaikaha.

Admission is free, and refreshments will be provided.

The exhibition runs for three weeks.

Our aim was to discover how black and white meshed together to form beautiful focal points and view the colour within what appears ‘Black and White’ only. We added limited colour as a focal point but on a small-scale.

This concept led to lots of conversation around difference and similarities with our colleagues and how we celebrate colour in each other. This also recognises the Enabling Good Lives principle of whakawhanaungatanga or relationship building.

Thank you to Creative Communities for their funding support. We also appreciate the opportunity from Rotorua Arts Village to present our work.
