Monica Brewster Evenings are monthly discussions featuring invited speakers from across the creative sector. Introduced at the Gallery in 1999, the series has presented an array of leading creative thinkers, opinion leaders, artists, and practitioners to Taranaki audiences.
For 2025 Monica Brewster Evenings will explore cultural practices through the themes of RESILIENCE (Season One) and RESISTANCE (Season Two). Our speakers will examine how creative thinking and action can endure adversity while challenging and transforming inequitable conditions.
Monica Brewster Evenings are produced in partnership with Govett Quilliam - The Lawyers, with further event support from Michael Radich Wine Merchants, Theory Food, and Shining Peak brewing.
