Calling all Manawatu Artists!
Did you know that you can still be involved in the Manawatu Art Expo?
All artist bays are now sold out but there is still an opportunity to display and sell your work at the Manawatu Art Expo which runs 16 - 18 July at the Palmerston North Convention Centre.
You can still apply to submit 1 - 5 pieces of work (up to 1m each piece) which will be displayed for sale on your behalf. It's a great opportunity if you don't have a large body of work to exhibit, or if you just want to dip your toe in the water in terms of showing your work.
The registration fee is $35 and then a handling fee of $6 per artwork. A commission of 30% is charged on all sold work.
Registration closes on the 31st of May.

The Manawatu Art Expo is an annual event run by the Feilding and District Art Society.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
