Arts
Grey Lynn! Even its name whispers of an understated cool, and you're absolutely right – it pulses with creative energy.
Musicians, filmmakers, fashionistas, chefs, writers, artisan foodies, painters, potters, and glassmakers – a vibrant spectrum of artistic souls live here.

Community Arts
Singing, music, choirs, performances, photography, sculpture, cooking, exhibitions..... the list is long!
