Time

Venue: Pūmanawa Gallery

For this exhibition, a group of creatives from the Ara Institute of Canterbury chose a deliberately open brief. They respect each artist's decision on how to interpret the theme, according to what they need their art to be, in context of their lives.
Working with a range of media, they want to demonstrate that art, alongside being a means to make a living, also provides individuals with the opportunity to explore the intersection of creativity, a sense of self, and wider social contexts.
Exhibiting Artists
John Hill, Jane Schollum, Carol King, John Osborne, Oliver Perkins, Katharina Jaeger, Holly Liberona, Denise Mill, Kim Lowe, Stefan Roberts, Nathan Ingram, Rach Winter, Deborah Marshall, Wendy Clarke, Julie Humby, Tessa Warburton
The creatives represented in this exhibition contribute to the teaching of art, design and fashion design at the Ara Institute of Canterbury, including the Timaru Campus.
