Welcoming the return of founding Lake House Arts Artists in a very special
exhibition marking the next turning point in the development of Lake House Arts.
This exhibition will feature art from the “original” Lake House Artist Tony Ogle.
Tony was very involved in the early stages of saving the house, as an historic icon of Takapuna. In 1995 with 25 other artists, he organized the “End of an Era”
exhibition held in the House to draw public attention to its significance and
imminent destruction at the hands of a local property developer.
Five years later, after Lake House Arts was saved from destruction, relocated and renovated, Tony, along with guest and resident artists held the first
exhibition at the new Lake House - “The New Era” Exhibition was a celebration of the beginnings of Lake House Arts Success. Many of the original artists from both the “Era” exhibitions will return.

by Alex Witten-Hannah
We are very grateful for the incredible, ongoing contribution Alex Witten-Hannah has made to the success of Lake House Arts. It is true to say that without Alex it is very possible Lake House Arts would not exist today! As the legal support for the original trust that saved Lake House from destruction, Alex was responsible for putting the injunction in place which stopped the improper sale of the building and ensured it could be saved and restored.
Alex continues to make a substantial contribution with this extraordinary collection of “lockdown art”. Level 4 had a significant and lasting impact on Lake House Arts, eliminating tens of thousands of dollars of revenue in a very short time. In an incredibly generous gesture, Alex has agreed that all proceeds from the sale of these works will go entirely to Lake House Arts.
These works are now available to purchase as single edition, signed and framed prints. The social media post will also be provided in a small frame to compliment the overall work and add prominence and context to the lockdown art.
20 x 25 cm size - $175.00
28 x 38 cm size - $250.00
Includes signed single edition print, complimentary A6 size framed social media post and printed and special edition printed catalogue. To reserve you print please email Operations Manager Grae Burton at manager@lakehousearts.org.nz
YOUR PURCHASE DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE DELIVERY OF ART PROGRAMMES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT-
