The Art of the Letter is a collaborative exhibition between the Whanganui District Library and the Whanganui Literary Festival opening in Whanganui this week.
The exhibition’s opening event will start at 10am on Monday, September 11 at the Alexander Heritage Library - Te Rerenga Mai o Te Kāuru.
The exhibition is part of Dear 26, an international project conceived by writers’ group 26.
The creative initiative includes 26 authors from around the world who were randomly assigned a letter of the alphabet.
They then crafted letter exchanges between two fictional characters with names beginning with the assigned letter. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to read the unique letters, which have also been compiled into a book.
