🎨 NEW INSTALLATION ALERT: Colin Bell returns to Market & Main!
We are thrilled to announce the latest installation in our partnership with The Incubator Creative Hub! Following the huge success and popularity of his first installation, we are excited to welcome Colin Bell (Kiramekisan) back for round two.
Colin is a Tauranga-based artist who began his painting journey while living in Tokyo. His artist name, Kiramekisan, is a nod to "Mr. Sparkle" (a deep cut for fans of The Simpsons!) and reflects his creative roots.
Colin’s work isn't just limited to canvas—he’s painted bike frames and even had a carbon fibre canvas racing at the BMX World Championships in Copenhagen! We are proud to support his journey, including his first road mural—the giant hibiscus you can see just outside the cafe as part of the "Tauranga Runway" public art project.
Come down to Market & Main to view Colin’s stunning new work, soak in the local art scene, and grab one of the best coffees in town. ☕️🖼️
📍 Where: Market & Main, The Historic Village, Tauranga
🕒 When: Daily until 3pm
🎨 Artist: Colin Bell (Kiramekisan)
