Wanganulil's kiwi art show
he Quay School of the i Arts gallery played host to the Wanganui Branch’s major project for the year — a ‘Kiwis for Kiwis’ art award. The exhibition featuring the plight of the kiwi, was mounted by Quay School students and invited Wanganui-based artists. Keith Chapple, Forest and Bird’s president opened the show with a sober reflection on kiwi mortality in the Wanganui region, and a call for a major boost in funding to save the kiwi. ‘This is the second year we have run an exhibition to feature the natural heritage of the
district and we are pleased with the support and publicity it has generated, says chairman Brian Milham. The exhibition was judged by Jill Pettis MP, Forest and Bird committee member Ray Hutchison, and a student, Teresa Goodin. ‘A message of concern that time is running out for the kiwi came through very strongly. We found this work powerful and creatively brilliant, the judges commented. The winner was Lance Hayes with a sculpture ‘Neutral Tan’ which he based on a Kiwi polish tin.
