The popular art exhibition is an important part of Hibiscus Hospice’s fundraising efforts, traditionally raising in excess of $20,000 each year. In recent times the proceeds have helped fund the Hospice Out Patient Clinic where locals can receive blood transfusions, medication infusions and specialist Lymphoedema massage therapies.
This year’s additional 10th birthday celebrations for visitors to enjoy on May 30, 10am–4pm, in a special marquee on site, include lucky dip “birthday gifts” and a display and sale of other arts and crafts, including art made by children and the arts of cake making, knitting, mosaics, needlework, preserving, quilting, recycling and woodturning.
The exhibition itself features 30 artists, 12 of whom are new to the show.
Alongside works using oils, acrylics, watercolours and graphite on paper, canvas and board, you’ll find works on oars, tapa, fibreglass, zincalume and steel. There are also ceramics, prints, photography glassware and jewellery. Works range in price from $30 to $3000.
For first access to the sale, as well as a chance to bid on those donated for auction, a Preview and Auction Night will be held on May 28, 7pm–9pm. Tickets include wine and hors d’oeuvres and are available for $25 from Hibiscus Hospice, phone 421 9180 or www.hibiscushospice.org.nz
