It may not be easy being green but creating a great piece of green art may be easier than you think.
Shades of Green is an art exhibition organised by the Whanganui Green Party to encourage local artists to explore green themes with art.
Selected works will be exhibited at the Community Arts Centre from September 9 to 22 and entries close this Saturday.
Organiser Rosalind Fitzpatrick said there have been a number of excellent entries but more are needed.
"There are some very good sculptures and quilts - we hope to see even more variety.
