A Hawke's Bay artist has been chosen to receive project funding as part of the Department of Conservation (DoC) 2020 Wild Creative arts initiative.
Sarah Hunter is one of two artists to be selected to undertake an artistic project as part of a joint DoC and Creative New Zealand initiative supporting artists to engage with nature and conservation.
The project, based on the places, people and stories of New Zealand, will see Hunter receive funding to create an installation that responds to Porangahau Estuary in Hawke's Bay.
Currently based in Wellington, Hunter grew up a short distance from the estuary, with the project offering the opportunity to reconnect with her tūrangawaewae and give back to Porangahau School and community.
