After an action-packed array of summer holiday fun for all ages and outstanding exhibitions, get set for a fabulous series of Art Deco-inspired exhibitions to adorn the Creative Arts Napier (CAN) galleries.
For the first time CAN will be home to the official Art Deco Festival Art Exhibition. Curated by well-known and loved contemporary artist John Lancashire, paintings and sculpture created exclusively for this special collection will be on display. Top local and national artists have been invited to showcase their skills for this unique exhibition, giving an insight into different interpretations of Art Deco.
All works are for sale and can be viewed at Creative Arts Napier from Friday, February 18 to Thursday, March 3. This new event to the festival programme promises to be one you will not want to miss. Entry to the exhibition is free, seven days a week.
Entries have been extended for the second annual official CAN-Do Deco Exhibition. This youth Art Deco-inspired exhibition and competition is open to all young creatives and in all mediums. The popular annual event enables your young creatives to see their work displayed professionally in the gallery and gives them an educational insight into the exhibition process. The event is celebrated as part of the 2022 Napier Art Deco Festival - pick up an entry form from CAN in Byron St or visit our website www.thecan.co.nz. Entries close on Thursday, February 17 at 4pm sharp.
