Historically, Real People @ Mosaic has provided a service for people with physical disabilities. This group makes up approximately half of our client base. Although working with people who have a physical disability is our target group, we will not exclude a student based on that criteria alone. Enquiries are welcome from other clients whose primary disability may not be a physical one. Where places are available an enrolment may be made at the discretion of the manager.

This year’s annual Wine Box Auction will be held on 30th July in our gallery at RealPeople @ Mosaic in Taradale. We are happy to announce that once again we are receiving incredibly generous support from a wonderful group of artists some of whom have donated their skills for all four previous auctions, and others who are joining the fun for the first time.

All the artists have now received their ‘naked’ wine boxes and are creating yet another batch of fabulous, collectable artworks, so diary the auction date in now and don’t miss out.

Out-of-towners please note that you will be able to view the boxes on our websites and bid via phone on the night or place a reserve bid prior to the auction.

The list of artists is as follows: Lex Benson Cooper, Wellesley Binding, Jo Blogg, Leanne Culy, Leslie Falls, Fane Flaws, Dick Frizzell, Elaine Goodman, Josephine Hughes, William Jamieson, Shane Love, Ross MacKay, Peter Madden, Para Matchitt, Ruth McLean, Maree Mills, Peter Mooren, Ben Pearce, Katherine Quinn, Leighann Randle, Nicholas Rodgers, Jacob Scott, Peter Tang, Joel Taylor, Ricks Terstappen, David Trubridge, Jill Webster, Chris White, Denise Wilkinson and Joleen Wilson.

Fane Flaws has kindly offered to be our graphics man again as well as do another stunning wine box for us.

If you have any queries please contact Ruth McLean at RealPeople @ Mosaic

We have recently begun a new initiative in selling Art at Mosaic. As our gallery has been out of action for several months due to our building programme, we are now listing our students’ artworks for sale on TradeMe.
