Stations of the Cross is back. Artists put away their crayons last year but are steaming to spring some surprises on the gathering public in 2011.

In 2009, 3,500 people soaked up the atmosphere of the Hamilton Paradise Gardens under moonlight and the stars to commemorate the Easter festival.  Unique to Hamilton in the outdoors, the Stations Collective invites artists to explore each event in the last hours of Jesus Christ’s death, from the last supper to the resurrection.

The Stations will again BE BACK this year with a range of reflective, static, moving and provocative art installations. New this April will be access to art installation spaces in the magnificent Chinese Garden and Indian Garden. Artist Donn Ratana,  is working on a piece for the brilliant Te Parapara gardens where the Last Supper will be situated.

Stations – a meaningful experience for all people of Hamilton, art lovers, religious, spiritual … or not, is also guaranteed.  This will be the 7th Exhibition of Stations of the Cross – the 4th at the Hamilton Gardens.
