Remix Committee: We Need You!
We are looking for a small group of passionate taste-makers to join our ReMix Committee. Come and ensure YOUR voice is represented at Christchurch Art Gallery by working with our team to plan an event (and other activities) that is all about, and for, young people. We don’t want to tell you what you might like, we want you to tell us! You pick the theme, you pick the bands, you pick the performers, you pick the film, you pick the speakers.

Party on Madras
It's less that a week until our Out of the Box family fun day on Saturday 27 September and we're getting excited!

Sweet As Sculpture
Constructing is definitely the theme for these holidays, so from the big blue blocks of the Imagination Playground we scale down to toothpicks and marshmallows at ArtBox.
Notes
Hockey Sticks, Castles and the Odd Spider
These are just some of the creations made with our Imagination Playground over the last week. It's been a big hit with children this KidsFest. There is no end to the amazing structures and imaginary worlds created.
Notes
How Did You Do That?
How often have you stood in front of an art work and wondered how the artist did that?
Notes

The Incredible Cinematography of Wasteland
Screening free at Alice Cinematheque on Wednesday 12 February at 6pm, this award-winning film tracks the development of a 2008 series of monumental photographic portraits made from trash. Called Pictures of Garbage they were created by artist Vik Muniz in collaboration with the garbage pickers who separate recyclable materials in Jardim Gramacho, a 321 acre open-air dump just outside Rio de Janiero.
