Second Edition Extra Curricular

Extra Curricular is a publication dedicated to showcasing people who do interesting creative projects in their spare time as well as encouraging those who wish they did.

Whether they have a 9-5 job, a fledgling business or a young family, the people profiled in Extra Curricular are connected by their passion for keeping the right side of the brain active in their off-hours. They do it for the love of it - driven by a creative urge, they stay up late and work weekends in order to complete their latest side project.

This issue includes a wee illustration featurette, an article about the craft craze and whether it's possible to make a living selling your wares, interviews with a leather tooler, a jewellery maker, a paper artist, and the girls behind 'Martha Goes Green' talk about self-publishing their vegetarian cookbook. There are a few other treats to be discovered too.

Extra Curricular is printed in full colour on beautiful recycled stock. The 2nd issue is out on April 1st 2010.

First Thursdays

First Thursdays Auckland debuted in St Kevin’s Arcade on 3 Dec last year when Cleo organised a line-up of artists including painters ranging from street style to pop surrealists, Brazilian dancers and even a glass blower to captivate what turned out to be a more than 900-strong audience of onlookers and buyers who turned up throughout the evening.

The 2010 schedule for First Thursdays Auckland kicks off on Thursday 4 February with a similarly impressive line-up of artists featuring exhibitors such as Amy Walker whose work is described as a cross between Picasso and pop art, Frida Kahlo-inspired crafter of jewellery Miriam Ramos and live hip hop-based band Numbers.

“It’s a platform for emerging artists who may not otherwise get into galleries which gives them confidence," says Cleo, “and it’s fun for established artists, because it offers them a different type of space.”
