Bondi sculpture
Three fabulous works from the recent Sculpture by the Sea exhibition on the cliffs betrween Bondi and Tamarama.
THE ISLAND OF TOUI POENAMMU
I was fortunate enough to see first hand this stunning map of New Zealand's South Island / Te Waipounamu at the Mitchell Library in Sydney last week, a map which must rate as a very special taonga for Mainlanders.

Room 10 at Fernside School are doing some amazing school work about art from Christchurch Art Gallery and we think that's pretty cool.

Blurred Lines
The Gallery's newest exhibition, Shifting Lines, makes for memorable viewing at our Tuam St space.
