Christchurch - Art
What a delight to be able to briefly visit a re-opened Christchurch Art Gallery yesterday whilst in Christchurch for the day. It is so great to have this fantastic gallery open again.
All current exhibitions are from their own collections:
In the vast emptiness highlights Canterbury Landscapes whilst Unseen: The Changing Collection focuses on contemporary collection pieces.
CAG and COCA who also have a great exhibition The Precarious Balance create one of the best art precincts around.
