Art-lovers with short attention spans can be in and out of a gallery in 10 minutes tonight, before being whisked away to another exhibition.

Auckland New Gallery guides Libby Brookbanks and Robbie McMath will drive two of the nine minis that will ferry the public between galleries displaying entries in the Auckland Festival of Photography.

Minis will arrive at the nine galleries involved in tonight's special event every 10 minutes, to carry the community around the exhibitions of leading New Zealand photography. The "ferry" service will run from 6pm to 9pm, and all exhibitions and rides will be free.

The 2009 festival will run until June 21 and will include 64 exhibitions spread around the Auckland region.
