Art Kitchen at Avondale Library a series of professional workshops focused on building the capabilities of our art communities.
In 2026 Art Kitchen will host two sessions at Avondale Library.
See below for details.
Creative brainstorming | Workshop with Jody Yawa McMillan
NOV 15 SUN 1 – 2 PM
Join Jody, Whau Community Arts Broker, for a relaxed, collaborative workshop for creatives with an idea they’re keen to explore.
Bring an idea, project or creative question and work through it with others in a friendly, low-key environment. Share possibilities, get fresh perspectives, and build on your ideas through conversation and creative thinking. No need to have it all figured out — just bring your curiosity and willingness to share.
This session is designed for creatives from all backgrounds and at any stage of their practice.
Refreshments provided, free tickets must be booked via Eventbrite.
Seasons of creativity and rest | Talanoa with community weaver Jess Atutolu-Tulisi and artist Wai Ching Chan|

@pinkfluffytotoro and @waichinghaha
Join local artists Wai Ching Chan and Jessie Atutolu-Tulisi for an insightful conversation about tuning into the rhythms of creativity, challenges and the ways their craft promotes wellness in their communities.
They will share personal experiences with creative funding and offer some practical tips and lessons learned for creatives looking to fund their own projects. This panel talk will be followed by a free Niuean bead kahoa workshop by Jessie.
This event is designed for artists from all backgrounds and at any stage of practice. There will be an opportunity to find out more about local funding and insight to artists working with libraries. Refreshments provided, free tickets must be booked via Eventbrite.
