Marcus Ebbett - Te Raukura Visual Arts Rangatahi Exhibition Project

Marcus Ebbett's exhibition is available to view at Te Raukura ki Kāpiti. To arrange to view or purchase works please contact the Rangatahi Exhibition Project Coordinator, Caroline Beaufort-Puna [email protected] 027 356 3622.

Not only is Te Raukura ki Kāpiti a wonderful hub for a wide range of performing arts, but also a place of learning. This initiative provides a platform for exhibiting the works of young artists and graduates who are excelling in the field of visual arts. Te Raukura is now presenting regular exhibitions to support and promote young artists trying to get recognition in their field.

This initiative was created by Caroline Beaufort-Puna, an Art Teacher at Kāpiti college for 20 years. Caroline saw a real gap for young artists after they had graduated from art school or had finished courses. It seemed that finding exhibition spaces were hard to find with no one to help or mentor them into a larger art market.

Works are promoted through gallery exhibitions available to view by the public while they are in attendance at events held at Te Raukura, and also private viewings of the work are available by appointment with the artist, via Caroline.
