I am a local artist just arrived back in my homeland.
i approached the hall custodian at Pirongia to participate in the arts and crafts exhibition, which was booked in.
yesterday i was told that 'they didn't want the fair to go 'that way' (clairvoyant, spiritual stuff) and I was unfortunately to be disappointed as i wasn't allowed access to exhibit.
The tittle of exhibition 'Reflective Moments'
I paint angels.!!!!!
i have no reply from Waipa Council over this matter, but am dazed that personal belief systems over ride an annual event.
At least 4 of the exhibitors at the monthly fair are spiritual healers, reiki, hands on, (i know because i attended last months fair).
Is this discrimination?
