In amongst the many events dealt the Delta blow this summer is NZ Sculpture OnShore - a major art exhibition held in Takapuna, Auckland.
The exhibition is not only the country's largest sculpture event, it's also the biggest fundraiser for Women's Refuge.
This year's funds were go towards the Kids in the Middle project - which is to design special spaces for children at each of the 40 refuges around the country.
It came out of research conducted by Women's Refuge, which interviewed children about their time at safe houses and what would make them feel more safe and comfortable.
NZ Sculpture OnShore organisers decided the event simply had to go ahead. Kathryn speaks with Women's Refuge CEO Ang Jury and Sally Dewar, from NZ Sculpture OnShore.
