A new "art walk" app has launched in Tauranga, with the aim of better connecting the public to local artists and their stories. And then they took the app and went round public artworks and learnt more about the works in the city." Tauranga Art Gallery hopes the app will reach people who might not visit an art gallery. "The app's a wonderful accompaniment to a number of the activities that Tauranga Art Gallery has developed in recent years," said gallery director Stephen Cleland. The City Art Walk app is available for free thanks to Creative New Zealand and local law firm Cooney Lees Morgan.
