Calling all Manawatu Artists!

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

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.

Application for Registration: manawatuartexpo.files.wordpress.com...

Registration Information: manawatuartexpo.files.wordpress.com...

Website: manawatuartexpo.com...

The Manawatu Art Expo is an annual event run by the Feilding and District Art Society.

This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
