Our programme has launched, and thanks to our amazing team of volunteers, paper copies of the 2018 Aspiring Conversations programme are all over town, in cafes, shops, our library and cinemas. Pick one up, or pick up a few and help spread the word about Wanaka?s very own festival of ideas.

Spend a day with an Astrophysicist
After she has shown us the stars, we are looking for one or two interested locals to show Dr Jennifer Wiseman our region ? would you like to accompany Dr Wiseman on a local track, such as Diamond Lake, or further afield to take in part of the Routeburn Track? Let us know.
We are also looking for drivers to provide transport locally, and to being Dr Wiseman over from Dunedin to Wanaka on the afternoon of Friday April 6. Please get in touch with Laura at laura@festivalofcolour.co.nz if you would like to help.
