e-News September 2009

The wild weather heralds both the arrival of spring and the return of award season. Nervous finalists will be put out of their misery when the winners of the Wallace Art Awards and the Waikato Contemporary Art Award are revealed early next week and, later in the month, painter Liz Maw will announce the winners of the Young Artists Award at Eden Arts.

For some winning exhibitions from the Deep South, to the Far North and across the ditch, follow the links below.

Enjoy the month of September – and that wind-blown look it inspires.
