Grey Lynn & Around Heartbeats

Artweek 2020: 10-18 October.


ARTS
Come and enjoy our inaugural Papatuanuku - urban flora and fauna trails.

In locations across our buzzy neighbourhood, our place will be alive with art and festivities.

There’s something for everyone, with local businesses hosting displays of artworks along the trails and events and live experiences for locals and visitors to enjoy.

There will be visual artists, photographers, ceramicists, and sculpture installations in Kelmarna Gardens. Art is so valuable to our souls.

In Maori tradition, Papatuanuku is the land. She is a mother earth figure who gives birth to all things, including people. Trees, birds and people are born from the land, which then nourishes them. Let’s connect and learn from our artists, care for our local environment, and, above all, explore and have fun here in Grey Lynn & Around.

Pick up a FLYER anywhere along the Trail – walk to
32 amazing venues! Please check opening times.

And you can do a bit of bird-spotting along the Papatuanuku - urban flora and fauna trails. Ten metal bird sculptures have been installed between Grey Lynn and the West Lynn shops. Each has a letter attached and they spell a code. Simply use this discount code at checkout on www.metalbird.co.nz and be in to win prizes during Artweek.

1-31 October

EATS & BEATS
We welcome you to enjoy our neighbourhood, transformed with the month-long festival of arts, eats, and beats.

Grey Lynn & Around is renowned for its eclectic collection of cafes, restaurants and bars. All of them are popular, with some of them downright famous. To celebrate Grey Lynn Eats & Beats, participating businesses will create and offer a unique signature dish or beverage that will capture the spirit of our neighbourhood.

You can dine out on a sustainable plant-based burger or go large at the city’s hottest new BBQ joint; select from a kaleidoscope of global cuisines at their best or call into one of the many vegan cafes/restaurants and bakeries - all Auckland classics. There’s a fine line-up to suit all tastes and budgets.

Make the most of the opportunity to reconnect with friends at a series of live music events, hosted by some of the city’s best-loved watering holes.

Whether you’re eager to revisit an old favourite or experience somewhere new, keep your eyes peeled for Elemental Eats & Beats stickers at participating eateries and bars.

Proudly brought to you by Grey Lynn & Around. Sustainable. Creative. Diverse. Niche.
