Get lost in the arty west

Waitakere has a strong art and craft community and its many artists, weavers, potters and craftspeople produce exciting, original work.

If you're planning on exploring these outlets, the brochure Art out West: a buyer's guide 2003, will be useful. It lists dozens of galleries and studios and comes complete with maps, a description of each artist's work, and contact details. Pick it up at i-SITES or from Information Waitakere.
