Hot on the heels of Shapeshifter was the annual Big Day Dowse festival, cementing itself as one of the must-do events on the summer calendar. The crowd of more than 8,000 enjoyed a beautiful sunny day, a wide variety of entertainment and activities, and an excellent line-up of musical acts culminating in a stunning set delivered by Trinity Roots. This year the festival, organised by Sian van Dyk, extended beyond the new award-winning Dowse Square and into a closed-off Laings Road where a multitude of food stalls kept the crowd replete and happy.

PROFILE COMMUNICATIONS & RELATIONSHIPS MANAGER, KATRINA SMIT The Dowse Art Museum has a unique place in New Zealand and it’s not just because of the collection and the programmes. The vision that created The Dowse - the commitment and aspirations of a community that recognised the value of having a distinctive, innovative art museum at its heart - is what makes The Dowse like no other.
