Turning 'Meh' Into Wow
Turning 'Meh' Into Wow
An exhibition by Amanda Tomasoa, Angel Rage, Connie Takarangi, John Moss, Karen Hansen, Ronny Tomasoa, Tania Sunde, Vjekoslav Nemesh
Franklin Arts Centre
21 June - 12 July
Everyone knows Kiwis are very creative and clever. This exhibition is a part of a project that offers a fun challenge to artists & participants by turning an existing item heading to the dumpster into something new by recycling those used items. Thus, turning something ‘meh’ into something ‘Wow’.
Our artists created useable items visitors can buy or view. This project also encourages artists to rework a painting that was lacklustre into something they can be proud to show.
Visitors are welcome to dress up and pose with the items on show while photographers on hand will record the event.
Free entry. All welcome!
