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