Feilding and District Art Society - 104 Manchester St, Feilding

The Seated Photographers bring us a fun, thought-provoking exhibition that invites audience participation and shows us the view of everyday life from a wheelchair. Some of the photographers are experienced but many are novices who have found a love for photography as an exciting, creative outlet since being in a wheelchair.

Works on display are by local, national and international photographers.
The opening celebration will be on Sunday the 21st of February at 3pm and will be attended by the Deputy Mayor Michael Ford and Member for Rangitikei Ian McKelvie. Everyone is welcome to attend - we would love to see you there.

The exhibition runs to the 13th of March.

Feilding and District Art Society, 104 Manchester St, Feilding.
Open weekdays 10am - 4pm, Saturdays 10am - 1pm
Free Admission
