I’m excited to tell you about ‘Our Backyard’, a group exhibition showcasing the cherished landscapes that form the fabric of New Zealand’s much-loved spaces. Running until 21st May, the exhibition will feature a stunning collection of artworks that celebrate the places where we wander, rest, relax, explore, and call home.
”As landscapes often evoke deep emotional connections, “Our Backyard” promises to stir the heartstrings of viewers, encapsulating the profound beauty of the places we live, play, and visit. From wild, rugged coastlines to serene, atmospheric vistas, the collection will showcase how each artist interprets the landscapes they hold dear. These landscapes are not just places we visit—they are places that shape our memories and sense of belonging. This exhibition captures the heart and soul of New Zealand, and we are thrilled to share the work of these incredibly talented artists who each bring their unique perspectives on the beauty we are lucky to call our own”.
