This is the inaugural art extravaganza, organised by the St John's College Foundation and showcasing works from emerging and established artists from across the North Island. 

 

This is a fundraiser for St John's College, Hamilton in support of the long-term plan for the College to have its own chapel once more. All art is for sale and has been carefully curated, with well over 50 artists showcasing a range of ceramics, painting, photography and sculpture.

 

We do hope to attract a good crowd so that this becomes a valuable platform for artists and a regular community event in the region's calendar. And, of course, we hope visitors may find a piece of art they'll fall in love with.
