In McCahon's generous words "the door is always open, the light's on in the hall" ... we are pleased to invite you to our inaugural Gate studio dinner between our resident artist, Emma Fitts, and beloved local restaurant Orphans Kitchen.
A conceptual dinner produced by a collaboration between a chef and an artist to create a unique shared dining experience based around an artist's practice, and in celebration of the end of Emma's residency.
The McCahon House Gate programme helps build the careers of New Zealand artists. Our premium programme provides supporters with unique insights and experiences into the creative development process of artists and art making.
