What is ArtPoint?
ArtPoint is an umbrella group run by a team of passionate local arts professionals, volunteering time and expertise to our creative community. Through this and future events we aim to create a network of artists and creatives in Hobsonville Point, and to increase opportunities to create, show and enjoy the arts locally.
The inaugural ArtPoint event was held on 11 November, and was a day to celebrate the arts in and with our community, through a trail of open studios, exhibitions and workshops.
