Richard Grant and Jacob Scott – Ngā Toi Hawke’s Bay
Dr Grant, as the Chair of Ngā Toi Hawke’s Bay, introduced himself and fellow board member, Mr Scott, to Council. It was noted that Ngā Toi Hawke’s Bay has existed for around six months and is a resurrection of a number of bodies that have existed in this space over the last 20 years.
The aim of Ngā Toi Hawke’s Bay is to support arts and culture across the region and is designed to position itself as the prominent advocate for arts and culture in Hawke’s Bay. In this advocacy role the Trust is looking to convey to the local bodies the significance of arts and culture in Hawke’s Bay and how this can be supported.
Mr Scott extended an invitation to Council to attend the blessing of Taonga at Watchman Road on Sunday, 2 December 2018 from 4am. Car parking and marquee will be located on the Westshore side of Domain Road.
