Colourful New Art to Cheer Up Your Living Room
Opening this weekend at Artspace Gallery on the Petone Foreshore, is a bright and cheerful new exhibition by Stephanie Crisp. Stephanie's popular paintings often feature portside houses with boats in harbours painted from her memory. She also enjoys painting Canterbury scenes on canvas, captured in wonderful atmospheric moods and painted in free and textured brush strokes which follow the lie of the land.
Whilst you enjoy the new exhibition, you can also check out the wide selection of new art contributed by over 100 other local artists as well as our unique and wide range of locally made gifts.
Thanks for your support of our amazing local artists and local business.
Our gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday 10.30am - 4pm.
