• will create a forum for collaboration between artists - local, national and international - working in the environmental field, and endeavour to make provision for some free workshops each year, to remove barriers to learning
• specializes in Giant Puppet making, large scale constructions, lanterns, costumes and masks, which are utilised in processions and parades, in school activities, and local carnivals such as the International Women's Day Parade and the Lantern Parade that kicks off Palmerston North's yearly Festival of Cultures.
