Black Cof­fee in New­town is host­ing the Insti­tute of Refuge in Art exhi­bi­tion. Each piece has been cre­at­ed using dis­card­ed art­works. All recre­at­ed art­work will be up for sale over the week with 50% of the pro­ceeds going towards Vin­nies Welling­ton social ser­vices. Have a chat with Carmel from Black Cof­fee if you’re inter­est­ed in any of the work. There’s some­thing for every­one with a vari­ety of tech­niques and mate­ri­als includ­ing dig­i­tal print, col­lage, acrylic paints. In some the back­ground of the orig­i­nal piece shows through while in oth­ers it’s almost com­plete­ly obscured.

The cafe has two pin­ball machines, live­ly music, and sun stream­ing through the win­dows — it’s a good way to start the day.
