We’re turning afternoon tea on its head, and you’re invited!
True to our essence, we are combining Latin American art with New Zealand flair in ARTT-CITO, a blend of art and tea in Spanish. It’s an afternoon that fuses New Zealand tea rituals with Latin American creativity at Parked Up in Victoria Park.
Join us for an art exhibition of wonderful pieces of works by talented artists based in Auckland, a music line up with sounds from Aotearoa and beyond, delicious pizzas by Lollo’s, and our signature refreshing iced tea ??
Come along on Sunday 30th November from 4.30pm till late and be part of a special sunset supporting us at Parked Up in Victoria Park.
WHAT TO EXPECT
? Art Exhibition
Curated artworks, shapes and forms by a selection of emerging artists based in Tāmaki Makaurau:
Vann Bennett, the artist behind She Shapes. Born from healing after brain injury, clay became her path to resilience and rebirth. ? A celebration of the strength and vulnerability of the human body, She Shapes’s body of work is more than an artistic practice, it’s a reminder that we all can reshape ourselves, to rebuild, and to rise again.
Lisa Wong creates pieces that blur the line between function and sculpture. Her practice embraces contrasts: art & science, logic & intuition, cultural heritage & contemporary influences. She enjoys turning familiar objects into whimsical creations. Through her ceramics, Lisa invites a sense of joy, curiosity, and wonder—transforming the ordinary into something delightfully new.?
Noe Blois’ art is born from personal explorations. Each process reflects the moment she’s living and the desire to keep discovering new ways of expression. She experiments with materials, techniques and scales, creating imaginary and surreal worlds. ? She believes art is for everyone: a way to release, play and transform what we feel, embracing the process more than the result.
Estefan Paz is a performing artist who also works with woodcut printmaking. ? Investigating how images and the body can communicate through experience and encounter, printmaking becomes a tool connected to propaganda—one that turns reflection into action and opens spaces for memory, resistance, and shared creation.
Estefany Vidal Delgado’s work is inspired by nature, animals and films. ?️ Her creative journey began as a cake decorator, where she honed her attention to detail while sculpting complex figurines and cake toppers. Deeply connected to the tactile process of making, Estefany’s art reflects her love for working with her hands and her appreciation for the beauty of organic forms and imagination.
