Get ready for a fun-filled evening of art, entertainment and a little friendly bidding!

Join the Eastern Southland Gallery for a special fundraising auction where 50 one-of-a-kind trout artworks will go under the hammer!

​

Created by artists and local personalities, each artwork began as a simple brown trout silhouette before being transformed into something wonderfully unique. From paintings and sculptures to quirky creations, no two fish are alike!

​

Come along, enjoy a great night out, celebrate local creativity and perhaps reel in an original artwork of your own. Every purchase will help fund permanent art installations that bring the colourful stories of the Old Hokonui Museum to life.

 

​Fish themed raffles to be won. Don't let this one get away!

​​

On Sunday 1 November at 3pm Eliza Glyn will give an Artist Floor Talk in conjunction with her current exhibition Perpetual Motion. This is an opportunity to meet Eliza and hear about her life as a painter, her process and the works in the exhibition.

​

From her studio in Port Chalmers, Eliza Glyn maintains a sustained studio practice grounded in painting and drawing. The work Eliza presents for this show marks something of a departure from her iconic west harbour landscapes, moving toward something more experiential, both mystical and domestic. This new body of work seeks a deeper inquiry into questions of perception and subjectivity through both the Catlins riverscapes and recent still lives.

​

Admission free. All Welcome.

We are delighted to welcome the Muka Youth Print Exhibition back to the seven locations in the South Island. Since its inception in 1987, the Muka Youth Print Exhibition has been touring the country almost every year, exhibiting original stone lithographs exclusively for young people. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity for young people (aged 5-18 inclusive) to purchase original lithographic prints in an environment where adults are not allowed. 

​

All unframed prints are $90 and the artists’ names are covered during the show. This encourages children to choose work based on their appreciation of the work rather than the artist’s reputation or potential for financial gain. Entry to the exhibition is free, any young person is welcome and there is no pressure to buy. 

​

Youth Prints framing kits will also be available to order.
