Rotorua Museum is giving art fans the chance to talk to the artists behind the work in the 2017 Rotorua Museum Art Awards.
Artists will be at the Sir Howard Morrison Performing Arts Centre to answer questions about their work this Sunday between 2pm and 3.30pm.
One of the artists attending is this year's Friends of Rotorua Museum Emerging Artist winner Cheyenne Rose who said she was excited to be able to explain her work further.
"It will be great to meet people who appreciate local art and have an interest in getting to know the artists and story behind the piece."
