Franklin Arts Culture and Library Trust - Te Tira Toi Mătaranga O Franklin
FACLT Cultural Programme
Matariki 2009
Matariki at Franklin: The Centre for 2009 began with a formal opening ceremony on Friday the 26th of June.
The new Maori name for FACLT was announced by Rereokoroa Shaw of Huakina Development Trust.
The name announced was Te Tira Toi Mătauranga O Franklin, meaning "a group of leaders of Rangatira status, trusted with the responsibility of uplifting and uniting the people of Franklin through the arts and the knowledge within the library." This name will be used in all future correspondence originating from FACLT.
This year's programme features demonstrations of traditional artforms in our gallery, performances, guest speakers, a craft market with entertainment and a cooking class. It promises to be a great event, so be sure to come along and join the fun!
