The students have prepared their own exhibition including selection of artwork and pricing. They will also staff the exhibition during the weekend gaining valuable experience in how exhibitions work and giving them the opportunity to talk to the public about their art. Some artwork will be for sale and you will need to get in quick as past students' work has sold very quickly. The exhibition is being held in The People's Gallery - Toi ka rere from Saturday September 17 to the October 9. Open 10am-3pm weekdays and 10am-2pm weekends.
