Headlining an auction of artworks by Glenbervie School students and their well-known supporters will be emerging artist, Jacinda Ardern.
The Prime Minister has donated her second original drawing to a Whangārei art fundraiser, the first being a ''doodle'' she gave for Northland Arts Trust's recent Great Plates auction.
As well as works by every pupil at the school, pieces in the school online auction will include donations from Deputy PM Winston Peters, National Party Leader Simon Bridges, Sir Michael Hill, weta workshop animator Shinji Dawson and well known and talented local artists including Auckland-based Flox and local potter Greg Barron.
