Calling all Manawatu Artists!

Natasha from Ashhurst - Pohangina

Did you know that you can still be involved in the Manawatu Art Expo?

All artist bays are now sold out but there is still an opportunity to display and sell your work at the Manawatu Art Expo which runs 16 - 18 July at the Palmerston North Convention Centre.

You can still apply to submit 1 - 5 pieces of work (up to 1m each piece) which will be displayed for sale on your behalf. It's a great opportunity if you don't have a large body of work to exhibit, or if you just want to dip your toe in the water in terms of showing your work.

The registration fee is $35 and then a handling fee of $6 per artwork. A commission of 30% is charged on all sold work.

Registration closes on the 31st of May.

Application for Registration: manawatuartexpo.files.wordpress.com...

Registration Information: manawatuartexpo.files.wordpress.com...

Website: manawatuartexpo.com...

The Manawatu Art Expo is an annual event run by the Feilding and District Art Society.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
