The free public art tour in Hastings is much more than an interesting stroll. Hastings City Art Gallery Public Programmes coordinator Elham Salari said Hastings should be proud of its public art. "We've got artworks that represent our local community but at the same time, we've got an artwork - a mural - that represents a national event as well. The latest mural, on the exterior of Hastings Library, is a response to the Christchurch mosque shootings. The tour takes about 90 minutes, and leaves from the foyer of the Hastings Art Gallery at 11am on Saturdays.
