12 Tuesday October 9 2018 News RICHMOND’S ELLA Warren thought the Christchurch Art Gallery was a pretty cool place to be during the school holidays. And that’s because the St Albans Catholic Primary School pupil wanted to paint some masterpieces of her own. From now until Sunday – along with Labour Day weekend – anyone can go into the space and pick up a paintbrush to help create a massive piece of public art on the Art Gallery’s walls. Titled Wall to Wall, the event presents the opportunity to be involved in a “colossal public paint-out” of one of the downstairs galleries. “This is where the art starts,” acting Art Gallery director Amy Harrington said. Ms Harrington said the next famous work that would be hanging in the art gallery in 20 years could be done by some of the young artists decorating the walls today. The art gallery was painting over the four walls every day to make space for new creations. “So everyone gets their chance to paint,” she said. The space was proving so popular, Ms Harrington said there are lines out the door most mornings. The exhibition is open from 11am to 4pm every day. “We are encouraging everyone to grab a brush and bring your perspective to this special art space,” Ms Harrington said. “We aim to create an immersive gallery where everyone – no matter your age – can take a collaborative approach to art.” The work comes in conjunction with the opening of SCAPE Public Art’s 20th anniversary season, which opened on Friday Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Trying out artistic skills Trees trimmed at and will run for six weeks.

Beaver Tree Service Ltd donated their time and skills recently to help trim trees, along with removing deadwood and hazardous branches from around the building. The company brought smiles to children at the house with lead arborist David McKeich climbing the trees in a beaver suit. Office manager Belinda Henderson said it decided to do the work free of charge after Ronald McDonald phoned up asking for a quote to have their trees tidied. “It means it doesn’t come out of their budget, they can use it for something else,” she said. Beaver also supports social enterprise and non-profit organisation B1G1 which helps feed impoverished children throughout New Zealand. In about 2013 the company sponsored a room at Ronald Mc- Donald which allowed families to stay for free.
