I spent a couple of days sorting through the entries for our writing competition, Ringmaster: Stories from Christchurch Art Gallery.
A competition for a Thursday morning
We had so much fun running a caption competition for this image with the Gallery staff, we thought we would let everyone have a go. A Gallery paperweight lies in store for the three winners as judged by me...
Congratulations!
Heartfelt congratulations to Chartwell Trust who last night received the 2011 Arts Foundation of New Zealand Award for Patronage. Chartwell is the sixth annual recipient of this great award and joins previously honoured philanthropists Denis and Verna Adam, Dame Jenny Gibbs, Roderick and Gillian Deane, Adrienne, Lady Stewart and Gus and Irene Fisher.
George Harrison
Can't wait to see the new movie George Harrison: Living in the Material World by Scorsese which is released this month. The Beatles are a popular band here at the Gallery - we even have our own tribute wall in the staffroom.

Our own resident adventurer, Gallery librarian Tim Jones recently travelled via land and sea from Christchurch to Foz in Spain.
Political platform
Cass gets another working over in the urban art show Oi, you! currently on in Nelson.
The men with the midas touch
They've done it again. Our seriously awesome web designers Sons & Co scored a gold award in the interactive category for our new mobile web version of the Gallery's site.
