Woo-Hoo! Today I helped to officially unveil the the Birkenhead Village Owl at Kaimataara ō Wai Manawa with new plaques.
“The Night Guide” owl sculpture, designed by Claire Rye, was part of the the Big Hoot Auckland 2018 exhibition earlier this year and was purchased with funding raised by the community, local businesses and Birkenhead Village, and match-funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board. Proceeds went to the Child Cancer Foundation.
The smaller sculpture, “The Beauty of Birkenhead”, designed by Birkenhead Primary School, was housed at the Birkenhead Library, and will pop up in different locations around Birkenhead, so keep your eyes peeled!
