14 March 2010, 12 - 5 pm
Art Sunday coincides with the opening of
The 4th Auckland Triennial and with all the Precinct businesses open on that Sunday as well as free entertainment and giveaways it should be a great day.
Art Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate the Auckland Art Precinct,
The 4th Auckland Triennial, the building of the Auckland Art Gallery and the fact that we live in a culturally and artistically thriving environment. Some events that will occur during the
Art Sunday include a children’s drawing competition at
The Lane Gallery, a coffee voucher handout at
Parsons Bookshop, and
Gow Langsford Gallery will be holding a draw to win a collection of art books including a signed copy of Max Gimblett’s 2003 monograph. (Conditions apply.)
Start your art adventure in Khartoum Place where you can pick up your
Art Sunday map then follow the yellow dots. Throughout the Precinct, local cafes will be serving great coffee and the galleries will be offering boutique NZ wine and of course some of NZ’s best art.
Galleries and participating businesses will be open 12 - 5 pm.
