Vanua Art Exhibition on Leleuvia Island will be featuring the Waisiliva Gallery Artists & Guests Artists from the 12th to the 13th of September, 2014.

The Waisiliva Art Gallery was founded in December 2013 through the visionary management of Leleuvia Island Resort  with the principal focus on representation of contemporary artists whose diverse practises include painting, drawing, sculpture, video and photography.

The name "Waisiliva" is attributed to the seas surrounding Leleuvia, Wai Siliva derives from the reflection of the moon on the waters, creating silvery, glassy images on the surface.

The story of  Waisiliva's adventure opened with celebrations dedicated to the late artist Jasiliva Navaria Creek. The legacy of her constant positivity & attention to artists'  talents powered the energy that went into the launch of an "Adventurous", a creative voyage on Leleuvia Island of pure inspiration and Art.

Subject of the exhibition VANUA :
Highlighting the relationship of the land, sea, people and culture
"A tribute to the humble beginnings … remember we used to care"
"Vanua is not only the land, it is dressed with the culture and the tradition".
"All the creatures of the sea and the earth, the trees... are connected to the Vanua."
(words of wisdom collected around the talanoa mat on Leleuvia island)
