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.
