Eastside Spring 2025: 8 September – 4 October

posted in: Eastside Gallery, Past | 0

Eastside’s annual show for emerging and mid-career artists features painting, photography, fused glass and life-sized needle-felted sculptures from six exciting local artists.

The show features recent oil on canvas works from Meg Maguire, who won the “Eastside Development Award” at this year’s Arts Canterbury Juried Show. She will exhibit a substantial body of work from her Minotaur series.

This is the top artist development show in our “progressive pathway” series (“First Steps” – “Stride by Stride” – “Eastside Spring”).

Artists: Deanna Gracie, Graeme Russell, Jackie Hancock, Lauren Taylor, Meg Maguire and Nina Cook.
