In the Loop – October 2024

The wonders of a website, 

After many months of working behind the scenes, the Geraldine Sculpture Trails website is LIVE at https://geraldinesculpture.co.nz/ 

I invite you to browse through the various tabs and hyperlinks, so you become familiar with the site.    I hope you like what you see, any comments, suggestions or feedback is welcome. 

 Shout -outs 

 To Pub Charity.  The grant we received from Pub Charity enabled us to engage Artikel & Swint, located in Timaru, to develop the site.   We are very grateful as the website will be the portal for updates, events, donations, and artwork progress as they come to fruition. 

  We extend our heartfelt thanks to; Nick Symister, Claire Flanagan, and Daniela Zavallone at Artikel & Swint for their expertise in building this site, and for the promotional video, thank you, Emma. If you are interested in their work, please visit their site;  https://artikelandswint.co.nz/ a professional and friendly team. 

 We are already planning Stage Two of the website development.   Incorporating Artists & Sculptures onto the four Trail tabs. This will progress as we get underway in the art space. We will be adding a tab to include the Waihi River Volunteer Group to recognise their history and excellent ongoing contribution to the Rhododendron Trail. 

 You may understand that bringing high-quality sculptures to the Trails is a daunting task and takes time.  Underpinning that reality is funding, now we have a website you will be able to talk to or send a message to us directly so we can accept your donations and acknowledge your contribution to this exciting project for the Geraldine Community and visitors. 

 We welcome you all to be a part of this project now and for the future generations of Geraldine and the wider district.
