Estuary Arts Centre seeks further expansion
Estuary Arts Centre in Ōrewa is hoping for a second extension to its building, with its teaching facilities currently “bursting at the seams”, according to board members.
The original building, a former KFC, was extended six years ago with the addition of an education wing that included two new studios. The education wing, which cost around $1.1m, opened in December, 2015.
Income from the classes that the education wing made possible is part of making the arts centre more financially sustainable.
Last month Estuary Arts Trust Board member Dr Michael Irwin and treasurer Philip Crow put their case for the planned new extension to the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board at a Community Forum.
