Te Ara Ātea 20th Annual Selwyn Art Exhibition 2022 Saturday May 21st & Sunday May 22nd 10am-4pm Rolleston Community Centre On the 21st and 22nd of May this year an exciting celebration of art will be held at the Rolleston Community Centre. The Selwyn Art Exhibition is in its 20th year and is run by the Arts Heart Selwyn Central Arts Council with the aim to encourage the enjoyment of visual arts. Local artists find a friendly low commission place to showcase their talent and allow members of the public to buy an original artwork at reasonable cost. This year the exhibition is moving to a larger space in the community center due to the increasing number of artists taking part in the event. It’s an exciting time for both the organising team and artists alike. The committee are a group of supporters and artists who get together to run the event and workshops for Selwyn people to try art and other creative pursuits themselves. Last year the new policy of art works being able to be taken home immediately once purchased was a huge success, with artists then being able to replace the work. A wide range craft, paint, and photography were on display. Rob Lawrence is a local photographer who has both exhibited and been on the organising team commented “I enjoyed working with the friendly team and will continue to help out. I urge you all, arty or not, to consider getting involved. I am looking foward to a positive future for the arts in Central Selwyn.” One more innovation is the new GOLD COIN DONATION Youth Award to be presented to an artist 25 years of age or under. “We really want to encourage artists of any age or stage in their art career to give it a go and share something they have created with the public. The exhibition is such a friendly and supportive venue to try exhibiting your art for the first time,” says Margaret White another artist and committee member who is also a guiding light of the successful support group, Selwyn Practicing Artists. Rob Lawrence is originally from USA but has lived in the Darfield area for over 38 years. Rob has been a birder all his life and a natural progression to photography in the 70’s followed. He has become more serious in the last 10 years. Birds and Landscape are amongst his favorite topics. Currently B&W rural buildings and dabbling in portrait/ subject work are current projects.

Wednesday May 11 2022 Selwyn Times 25 Selwyn Parenting Week • A first for Selwyn • 16 th - 22 nd May 2022 P arents have an incredibly special role to play within our society - they are raising our future generation. Whilst most people would agree that this is an important and at times difficult job, often the expectations the society place on parents can make their job that much more challenging. Parenting has changed over the generations. In our grandparent’s generation stress was generally about providing for children’s practical needs e.g. food and clothing. Today, parent’s stress may be caused by these practical needs but also around expectations and “getting parenting right. Parents are facing new challenges as technology develops, influences of social media and many more daily struggles. SPN has a vision for a future where parenting is highly valued, resources and supports are readily available and accessible to all, and believes it is important that Selwyn Parenting Week serves as a way to recognise the important role parents and caregivers have to play in children’s lives and highlight the amazing job they do every day. Selwyn Parenting Week will showcase the many service providers, community organisations and group that we signpost parents to. The aim is to pull together and facilitate a series of events to empower parents and caregivers from across the whole of Selwyn, including the many rural townships. Selwyn Parenting Networks “Selwyn Parenting Week” brings you a range of service providers, speakers and agencies that we will be collaborating with for this inaugural week of Parenting workshops, talks and events direct to Selwyn. Our region is growing faster than ever and we feel very well placed to run this event given the longevity of our local knowledge, extended networks and our growing region of families and parents. Our advocacy to see improved services for parents and children, brought directly to Selwyn, is one we have been voicing for some years and we are committed to putting Selwyn on the map and hosting our own annual parenting week with informative and accesible resources, empowerment and upskilling to all parents, caregivers and families.
