Re:activate Aspiring Artists 2022 opening

Come and see the future of art in action as Scape Public Art opens the Re:activate Aspiring Artists 2022 exhibition.

Re:activate Aspiring Artists is an annual competition open to young people aged between 5 and 18 in Canterbury. The competition includes a junior and senior sculpture category, and has been extended this year to include a new mural category, thanks to generous support from Resene.

Entrants this year were asked to respond to the SCAPE Public Art Season 2022 theme of Sweat Equity, considering the sub-themes of labour and the body, virtuality, and obsolescence. Along with its industry partners, SCAPE Public Art mentors the winning artists to produce their designs for public display in Hagley Park.

Join us in Hagley Park on Saturday 5 November to celebrate the launch of these new artworks from talented young artists.
