What PPAC is all about.

Public art is which encompasses any form of art you see in a public place, large or small, statues, murals, graffiti, gardens, Christmas lights, even buildings or bridges. The art should be visible from streets, sidewalks or outdoor public places

Birdwoods, a very special place in the heart of Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand. Set in the countryside just 3km from Havelock North village, Birdwoods is a much-loved destination for young and old.
