Were counting down to Splash 2017 which will take place at the Academy Galleries, Wellingtons best central city exhibition venue.

This year were holding a combined exhibition with the Wellington Potters Association. This joint venture is sure to be one of the highlights of the Wellington visual arts calendar. We hope youll be submitting your best work to ensure we maintain the high standard of recent exhibitions.

Guest artists this year are Dianne Taylor and Richard Bolton . Richard, who moved from England to Geraldine with his New Zealand born wife in 2004, has an international reputation as a watercolour artist. His books on watercolour technique have been published in Britain, China and the USA. In addition to his own painting trips overseas, he has been invited to paint in China, Tibet, Taiwan and Israel. You can check out Richards paintings on his website, www.richardbolton.com .

Dianne is a well-known Wellington artist whose paintings are much sought after by collectors, both throughout New Zealand and overseas. Her paintings feature in private collections in the USA, Russia, Argentina, France and the Netherlands. In 2013, one of her paintings in our World War 1 in Watercolours at Splash exhibition was purchased by the then Governor General, Sir Jerry Mateparae.
