Classes Showcase: 25 November – 21 December 2024

posted in: Eastside Gallery, Past | 0

This show is a celebration of the 16 weekly classes we have developed and run over the last three years, thanks to funding from the Ministry for Culture and Heritage.

We’ve offered everything from drawing, painting, art therapy, dance, creative writing, multicultural, Māori arts, classes especially for 55+ and especially for kids.

Classes were designed to grow community alongside skills and catapulted the Centre into a hive of constant activity.

And what comes next? We’re pleased to say that thanks to a grant from the Christchurch City Council we will be able to keep most classes running next year. We also have a great exhibition programme lined up that so far includes 7 open calls for local artists.
