This 3rd Outdoor Sculpture and Garden Art Exhibition at Whangarei’s Quarry Gardens promises to be bigger and better than before.
To compete with the spectacular setting is a big ask, but talented local artists are up to the challenge, using a wide variety of media to create sculptures which will turn a stroll through the gardens into an exciting adventure. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to enjoy these stunning gardens, which are now looking better than ever after the extra summer rains, with the added attraction of the delightful artworks.
Around 100 works will nestle amongst the luxuriant subtropical foliage, perch on boulders or float on the lake. The 31 artists, who hail from Whangarei District and surrounding areas, include a number who enjoy national renown and others for whom this is their first exhibition.
Phone 09 4346514 or 021 445 772 to book your place in one of the Sculpture Workshops on Friday 24 or Sunday 26 Feb and take home your own creation at the end of the day.
The sculpture exhibition is run in conjunction with Garden Discovery, a trail of 24 fabulous gardens in the Whangarei area. Both events raise funds for the Quarry Gardens, which is an outstanding community volunteer project. To continue the garden theme, a team of Garden Experts will be onsite at the exhibition to provide information and guidance about natives, subtropicals, bromeliads, herbs, weeds & nuisance plants and garden design.
Admire the display of floral arts and nominate your favourite sculpture for the Palmers People’s Choice Award - with the chance of winning a prize for yourself.
Refreshments available.
