Knitters wrap Leigh in giant scarf

It’s a start – only 2km to go …

A giant 2.5km woollen scarf will be the centrepiece of a new midwinter community event being planned for Leigh by the Foundation Art Gallery & Arts Hub – but founder Hillary Austin Calder needs a lot of knitters to make it happen.
The idea of Snugleigh, as the event has been dubbed, is to make and wrap an extra-long scarf around the triangle of land bordered by Seatoun Avenue, Cumberland Street and Hauraki Road, past the fire station, preschool, community hall, playing fields and primary school.
Leigh arts hub under threat from funding shortfall

The future of Leigh’s Foundation Gallery & Arts Hub hangs in the balance unless immediate funding can be found to keep the enterprise going.
Australian artist Hillary Austin and her husband Richard Calder opened the gallery and art class space in Totara Road last December and have run regular exhibitions and tuition for artists of all abilities and ages throughout the year.
However, while class fees cover the rent and a few materials, the couple can no longer afford to keep Foundation going from their own pockets and are now appealing to local businesses and residents for help to keep classes running. Applications for grants and sponsorship have so far yielded nothing, so they have set up an online appeal via Go Fund Me.
