It all starts with the fantastic Wine and Cheese prizegiving. The event involves all art on display and for sale; toe-tapping live band music, simply called The Band; delicious canapes prepared by the Whangamata Club chefs and of course some excellent wines; while we celebrate the Harcourts Challenge and Youth award winners and all the exceptionally creative artists in our community. The themes this year are certainly 'challenging': "Looking back; Looking forward"; "Thinking Outside the Square" (Youth theme)

Tickets are $25 and are available from the Whangamata Information Centre.
