I'm so excited about my upcoming joint exhibition with these three amazing artists.
A big Thank You to Tricia Hewlett Art for the idea and for inviting me to join her, Nikki (Absconditus Creations) & Mandy Palmer Artist
Our exhibition is called ‘MeNToR’
Mandy, Nikki, Tricia, Roxtar = MeNToR
We are four artists passionate about Artists Supporting Artists.
We all mentor other artists, and this is a chance for us to support each other by celebrating our art together.
We met each other through Arts Canterbury - an organisation of Artists supporting artists.
Mandy is the chair of Arts Canterbury, runs the Kaiapoi Art Expo, and supports many emerging artists.
Nikki is the administrator for Arts Canterbury, working tirelessly to provide all the behind-the-scenes work to run exhibitions, workshops, and social events for our artist members.
Vanja introduces people to the joy of glass fusion art at her studio in Halswell, as well as demonstrating and talking to many organisations throughout Canterbury. She is a past chair of Arts Canterbury.
Tricia is the art teacher at Akaroa Area School, the coordinator of the Wildside Art Group, supports creatives in the community, and supports Arts Canterbury members.
Each of us mentors the arts in our communities, mentors emerging artists, and supports each other in our art and mentoring endeavors.
The exhibition runs from Saturday 27th September - Sunday 19th October excluding Mondays.
Opening night this Friday 26th September.
