This exhibition, organized by the Robert McDougall Art Gallery was held at the Canterbury Society of Arts.

Ten painters were selected, each to contribute a work of around 200-300 square feet. It was felt that there were painters who welcomed the opportunity to work on such a scale and were capable of doing so. It was also thought that the exhibition would be of interest and value to architects and others who could appreciate the use of large scale work in new building projects.

The painters represented were Robert Ellis, Colin McCahon, Michael Eaton, Don Peebles, Wong Sing Tai, Milan Mrkusich, Ralph Hotere, Don Driver, Pat Hanly and Ross Ritchie.

The paintings were all ten feet high and ranged in length from fifteen to thirty feet. Stretched canvas was used in each case for practical reasons; each work was in sections of ten feet to facilitate transporting and hanging.
