Darfield Artweek popular with artists
Darfield Artweek will celebrate its 39th Opening Night on
Friday, 9 October, 7pm, at the Darfield Rec Centre.
“We are pleased to have Areta Wilkinson, an accomplished
artist based in Oxford, as this year’s judge for the Artweek
competition. She will announce the winner of a number
of awards sponsored by local businesses, including the
coveted $2000 Premier Award”, said Malvern Community
Arts Council Chair, Philip Baldwin.
“The Artweek Committee is gratified by the number
of artworks that will be on exhibit. We had expected a
smaller exhibition following the lockdown earlier in the
year, but at least 125 artists from Selwyn District, the city
of Christchurch, and countrywide have registered”, Mr
Baldwin noted.
Members of the public are able to vote for the People’s
Choice Award throughout the week-long art exhibition, as
well as having their vote entered into a prize-winning draw.
Darfield Artweek comprises two exhibitions this year. The
Darfield Rec Centre will hold the main exhibition, with works
that are in competition for awards. At the same time Te
Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield will feature work by members
of Arts Canterbury. “This exhibition features a variety of
artworks—all creative, colourful, and skilfully executed. The
selection of works is stunning”, Mr Baldwin concluded.
Entry to Darfield Artweek’s exhibition spaces, the Rec
Centre and Te Huanui Art Gallery in Darfield, is free from
Saturday, 10 October to Sunday, 18 October.
