Orakei art exhibition turns virtual
Ōrākei School’s art sale is making its online debut.
The annual fundraiser by the Friends of Orakei has enticed Auckland art enthusiasts for 11 years.
But this year it will be staged virtually from the school website orakeischool.co.nz...
About 50 artists will display their works online from 6pm on November 13 to 6pm on November 15.
Art Ex coordinator Tiffany Crombie says the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic created a lot of uncertainty for event organisers.
Due to the ongoing possibility of lockdowns that would disrupt an exhibition, the Friends of Orakei School took the bold move to shift its annual art exhibition online, she said.
Funds raised will go towards equipment and resources for the students including technology and musical instruments.
Proceeds are also earmarked for improvements to school facilities, which will benefit the wider Orakei community.
More than $50,000 was raised last year- a record amount for the exhibition.

Do you think neighbours should ask before they go ahead and plant these?
