Artists
You are invited to participate in Founders Friday Night Markets to be held every Friday night except Christmas day through out summer. Stall holder fees range from $25 for a standard site - $35 which includes a marquee / power – bookings essential, payment is required on the day.
You are welcome to hire a stall as a cluster of like minded products ie get together with other local wine makers and hold a stall of Nelson Wines…. (licences only $63 at NCC and can cover many Friday Nights in one application).
A new group of market enthusiast’s leapt at the chance to further develop the Friday Night Markets here at Founders, when news broke that the Farmers Market was to depart.
The market is an important part of our village atmosphere. Local residents from The Wood, Walters Bluff and Atawhai area walk into the park to purchase their weekend supplies giving the opportunity for the market to succeed.
Founders will also run a marketing campaign to promote the markets on a Wednesday in the Nelson Mail and on a Thursday in the Leader – any stall holders that are committed to the Friday night market should let us know as we will be looking for good stories and photos opportunities to support this marketing campaign.
Press release:
Family nights on a Friday at Founders Park is a happening thing, as the Friday Night Founders Market continues to offer a range of local produce and also welcomes new stallholders from the Twilight Markets held on Trafalgar street last year. The market will also feature a local and independent fish monger, depending on the success of his catch leading up to the Friday night, the market also hopes to grow into the areas of local wines, cheeses, and other similar producers.
“Word is finally getting out to the Nelson Community that Founders Park is free for local residents every day of the week, however there is no doubt that Friday nights are our most popular night of the week for our local community.” Says Maria Anderson Facility Manager.
The success to date of Friday nights at Founders has been based on a the tradition established by the Duncan family over 10 years ago, with the invitation to the Duncan’s friends and family to bring their own dinner (usually fish and chips) and join them for a beer around the cafes picnic tables. Dubbed Chefs Night Off, Friday nights attract many young families of Nelson who enjoy the markets on the village green, the playground, and wide open spaces for the kids. Families bring their own dinner, its an affordable night out, and they order beers, wines and juices from Founders brewery.
Stall holders are permitted into the park between 2.30 and 3.00pm for set up, they need to stay onsite from 3pm to 7pm when the market is open to the public. Bookings are required for stall holders, second hand goods will be turned away, the market will be reviewed at the end of January when quality controls will be put in place.

Art classes at Aspects Gallery with Susan Creedy 2010
There will be two morning classes and two evening classes running on Tuesdays and Thursdays within the normal secondary school timetable. The first term is 9 weeks and terminates at Easter (which is really early!!). It is intended that this timetable will run for the year with the standard school holiday breaks enabling students to "catch their breath" and (maybe) re-enrol for the next term........
All classes will be held at Aspects Gallery, 137 McShane Road, Richmond although there will be times when we will go from that base to outdoor situations to study aspects of landscapes where the programme allows.
I recommend that applicants discuss their needs with me to find the best programme for their interests before enrolling. From time to time I intend to run a specialised class for more advanced students. These will be tailored to
demand and discussion.
For enrolments and /or further information contact: Susan Creedy, Aspects Gallery, 137 McShane Road, Richmond.

Donated Artworks needed for an extremely good home……….
Is there the possibility that any paintings, carvings, ceramics or any other kind of artworks could be donated to our residential community home?
Approximately 5 years ago residents were transferred from Braemar and Ngawhatu to community homes. All the residents in this particular house (flatmates) have both severe physical and intellectual disabilities and have lived together since the house opened.
As I know you'll understand visual experiences would be a fantastic way to create a sense of interest and would give huge on-going pleasure to the flatties.
The age range of the 6 residents is 27-65 ( 4 women 2 men ), 2 women are Maori. Once the essential house running expenses are paid there's not much left in the kitty. All the flatties are truly gorgeous and remarkable people.
As a home we have developed a garden to be self sufficient with vegetables. All the staff give of their own personal time and often money to create a real home environment for the flatties.
If it's possible that any creative people (or people with surplus artworks) out there would be interested in donating an artwork for our home - that would be fantastic!
We all hope that this can become a reality!
Any queries or questions please don't hesitate to ask Philippa (Phil) Macken
