Miss Clark crisscrossed the city yesterday, opening the new Creative Tauranga office and gallery on the corner of Willow and
Wharf streets, speaking at the Tauranga Chamber of Commerce lunch in the Mills Reef Winery restaurant, meeting the students
and staff at Otumoetai College and socialising with Tauranga Her Business group at Bravo Cafe.Surrounded by 25 paintings
from local artists in the crisp Creative Tauranga office, Ms Clark - the Minister for Arts and Culture - said she couldn't think of any
other community arts council that has combined an exhibition space.``You have incredible visual artists and that's something to
celebrate; arts and culture is for everyone, not just for the elite. Across the corner are the art galley and the i-Site, centre, and
Creative Tauranga will become another place on the visitor trail in the downtown.'' Miss Clark also noted that the proposed
museum was ``not completely on the back burner; it's on one of the middle burners and I wish you well - part of the vision is to
celebrate the local heritage''.
