Organisers are hailing the 28th Great Summer Art Exhibition in Snells Beach as a “resounding success”.
More than 1600 visitors viewed more than 250 works of art from 82 artists at the exhibition held at the Mahurangi East Community Hall over the New Year period.
Spokesperson Maureen Bernie says attendance numbers were up on previous years.
Local winners included Val Hunter (novice), Deborah Martin (photography) and Matilde Readett (Judge’s Encouragement).
Other first place winners were Melody Brook (professional) and Vera Limmer (intermediate).
The People’s Choice award this year was won by Amy Adams, from Pakuranga, with It’s a Bird’s Life.
The exhibition is the Mahurangi East Tennis Club’s major fundraiser for the year.
Ms Bernie says the club appreciate the support of all their business sponsors for this event, including major sponsors, Jenni Marsh & Dahnie Burton of Bayleys Warkworth.
