The Lighthouse public opening – 11 February
The highly anticipated public opening of The Lighthouse by Michael Parekowhai on Auckland’s Queens Wharf will be held on Saturday 11 February, from 7pm.
Auckland Council’s Manager Arts and Culture Kaye Glamuzina says the finishing touches are being applied to the artwork in preparation for the opening.
“The fences will come down on Saturday evening and Aucklanders will be able to come down to Queens Wharf and see the completed artwork up close for the first time.
“This is a generous gift from Barfoot & Thompson to the city – the public opening will focus entirely on the artwork and give people the opportunity to experience it for themselves,” she says.
The opening celebration is timed to coincide with dusk and sunset to offer people the opportunity to see The Lighthouse against the changing night sky.
