Real Art Roadshow

It’s massive, it’s mobile and it’s at the Mahara for a short time only. Real Art Roadshow Expanded is the second truckload of art to launch on the Kapiti Coast before wheeling its way around secondary schools throughout New Zealand.

Like the original collection, Real Art Roadshow Expanded will be housed in the back of a huge truck (silver rather than black this time), which literally unfolds to form a 64 square metre art gallery.

The exhibition will give students the opportunity to encounter, engage with and enjoy artworks by over 60 established and up-and-coming NZ artists, many working in exciting and challenging genres including sculpture, photography, jewellery and ceramic art.

Artists featured include Shane Cotton, Matthew Couper, Bill Culbert, Judy Darragh, Don Driver, Hamish Foote, Neil Frazer, Megan Jenkinson, Ralph Hotere and Vivian Lynn.

Mahara Gallery is open Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm and Sunday 1-4pm.
