Wish You Were Here
We've had our own crowdfunding success on Boosted in the past, raising money for our Outer Spaces exhibition programme, but now Christchurch-based artist Julia Holden is looking for help to send a supersized version of one of her 'portraits' of post-quake Christchurch to Auckland - and she only has one day left to make the target!

Toss Woollaston born this day
Sir Toss Woollaston (1910-98) seldom painted urban landscape, and is best known for his characteristically energetic, atmospheric fusion of natural earth, water and sky. Greymouth with Tower is one of a small number of paintings dating from the 1950s painted from the elevated vantage point of his Greymouth home.
