ENTRIES A RECORD
Water-colour exhibition So many entries have been received for the New Zealand Water Colourists’ Society’s exhibition, to be opened in the Canterbury Society of Arts Gallery tomorrow evening, that about half the paintings will be hung in the Cedar Room of the New Zealand Farmers’ Co-operative Association, Ltd. The president of the Water Colourists’ Society (Mr G. Kane) said last evening that a record number of 160 paintings from 60 different artists had been received. As well as the exhibition in the Society of Arts gallery and the Cedar Room, several paintings will also be shown at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at Lyttelton on Sunday. Mr Kane said that the paintings would provide a complete history of New Zealand water colours. As well as traditional paintings, there would also be a modem influence. The guest artists would be Avis Higgs (Wellington) and her fattier, Sidney Higgs, who is 86. The exhibition will continue in the Society of Arts gallery to December 4 and in the Cedar Room to December 25, when it will travel to Ashburton. It will also later be shown in centres throughout New Zealand.
