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.

Enjoy works by the next generation of Christchurch artists in Eastside’s annual “Inner City to East School Seniors” show.

69 NCEA students from six schools across the inner city to the east present recent works, most of which will go into NCEA portfolios. The schools include: Avonside Girls’ High School, Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School, Hagley College, Mairehau High School, Shirley Boys’ High School and Te Aratai College.

You can also see works by younger pupils from Christchurch East School in the Mini Gallery.
