How lucky are we to have such incredible guest artists showing their work at our exhibition?

There's still time to come and see these pieces (and more!) by Ginney Deavoll and Daniel Wright, as well as nearly 400 other artworks.

The 21st Edge of the World Exhibition is open from 9.30am to 5pm today and tomorrow - with kite flying tomorrow for visitors of all ages 🪁

On the final day of our exhibition this Sunday, we're inviting you to fly a kite outside the Waikawa Hall 🪁

It's a chance for visitors of all ages to see the amazing art inside and have a bit of fun with a kite outside.

We'll have kites available to use, or you can bring your own.

Waikawa's scenery dotted with kites will be an artwork in itself, and a lovely way to farewell our exhibition for another year.

The 21st Edge of the World Exhibition is open daily from 9.30-5pm until Sunday 8 March.

Which one is your favourite?
