It is with heavy hearts we have decided not to host the Sweet as Banana Pudding Art Exhibition in the future. We have absolutely loved our time working with local women artists and being around such amazing talent!
The good news is we are extending our Summer Art in the Hallways fortnightly exhibitions from February to December every year.

Women Talking
Come join the women of the HWC for a movie and nibbles on the 28th Feb 2023 5.30pm at the Focal Point Cinema Hastings.
The women of an isolated religious colony reveal a shocking secret about the colony’s men. For years the men have occasionally drugged the women and then raped them. The truth comes out and the women talk about their new situation.
Women Talking is a 2022 American drama film written and directed by Sarah Polley. It is based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Miriam Toews, and inspired by real-life events that occurred at the Manitoba Colony, a remote and isolated Mennonite community in Bolivia. The film stars Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Ben Whishaw, and Frances McDormand, who is also a producer on the film.
