The Riverton Community Arts Centre is hosting the 2019 Preston Russell Art Awards Exhibition. This event is sponsored by Preston Russell Law.
The entries are varied and include photography, paintings (oil and acrylics) mixed media, foam and resin, wood, textile, clay, pastel, pencil and pen, photography animation, film and video. This exhibition will be an extraordinary sample of the talent of artists in the Southland, Otago and Central Otago districts, and is not to be missed.
The winner of the Preston Russell Law Awards will be announced Thursday 18th April at a private viewing at the Riverton Community Arts Centre.
The exhibition opens on Saturday 20th April to 19th May 2019. The venue address is 149 Palmerston Street, Riverton, Southland. The gallery is open from 11am to 4pm from Wednesday to Sunday.
We hope the community will take this opportunity to view this exhibition. All art is for sale and will be available at the completion of the exhibition.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
