Call for artists!

As part of the lead up to Maui's Dolphin Day, WEC is pleased to announce the opportunity to facilitate the creation of a Maui’s Dolphin Statue at the newly constructed Raglan Wharf, and erection of DOC interpretative signs about Maui’s and the risks they face. The wharf is the launching spot for all our commercial fishers and many recreations fishers. The wharf was partially destroyed in a fire in April 2010, and Waikato District Council have plans for reconstruction which is due to begin in early 2012. The Water and Facilities Manager for Waikato District Council has agreed that a sculpture and sign can be installed at the new wharf, and DOC Waikato have agreed to provide an interpretative sign. Sky City has also supported this idea with funding for the artpiece. 

We are currently seeking local artists to create a suitable piece. Applications are due on January 20th and are available below or at WEC (see Dolphin_Sculpture_application.doc or Dolphin_Sculpture_application.pdf)
