BOP artists given opportunity to show their work in exhibition
"I have been blown away by the variety and skill of artists in this area. An exhibition that showcases what can be done with time, imagination and skilled hands is something that I would look forward to seeing.
I know from my own life what an inspiration it can be to see art produced by your friends, whānau, and neighbours. As an artist, I appreciate every opportunity to show off my chosen craft – glass – to the community of passionate and driven artists, artisans, and creatives here in Rotorua."
Conditions and Artist Submission Forms can be found on www.lockwood.co.nz/articles and www.creativerotorua.org.nz
Artist Submission Forms need to be emailed to Julie.parsons@rotorualc.nz by 5pm, 1 October 2021.
The Bay of Plenty Artists Exhibition will open with a private preview for artists and guests on Sunday 7 November 2021, then the exhibition will be open to the public from 8 November - 12 December 2021, 10am – 4pm.
All commission proceeds from the sale of work will go to The Friends of the Museum for acquisition of new works or for funding Rotorua Museum special projects. In the past The Friends have been involved with projects to re-frame works, provide new protective covers for textiles and will soon commission two heritage style lights for the Museum foyer.
