We received 417 entries into this award and we want to say thank you to all the artists for their skill and dedication in getting their work in on time for judging.
Our judges contended with a record number of entries this year, making their finalist selection a tightly managed task. 60 finalists have been chosen to exhibit at the Verandah, Hamilton Lake. Opening night is April 14 @ 5.30pm. This is a free entry with canapes and your first drink free.
There will be Judge’s talks from 10.30am on Saturday, April 15 at the venue. This is a free event. Come and hear from the Judges themselves about their thoughts on the art works exhibited and why they chose the award winners.
This is the Waikato Society of Arts main fundraiser of the year, as a not for profit organisation, so please come along and support the artists and our Society by purchasing from this exhibition of New Zealand Painters and Printmakers.
As a Not for Profit organisation, we cannot exist without the generosity of our sponsors and funding providers. We could not offer art classes with low-class numbers and low fees, provide a high calibre of tutors, keep our membership fees low and present our NZ Awards, as a supportive environment for experienced and new artists, at such an affordable level.
We rely on our sponsor’s continued support to be able to bring an art platform to the Waikato, like no other, with a 90-year-old history. Our background is rich in innovation and a celebration of artists who have been through and continue to come through our doors at the WSA. Thank you very much.
