Big art auction to raise funds for Tasman School

March 11th, 2013

Twenty-eight local Nelson artists have donated work for an art auction, to be held as part of the centennial celebrations at Tasman School this coming weekend.

Money raised from the event will go towards Artist In Residence projects at the school.

Thirty-eight works are on display in the school foyer and range from ceramics, sculpture, paintings and photography. They will be auctioned at 2.30pm on Saturday 16th March by Simon Barrett of Bayleys Realty.

The organisers thank the artists for their generous contributions: Tony Allain, Carol Alloway, Lisa Antonelli, Derek Ball, Ted Basdevant, James Boardman, Tim Bow, Lyn Broughton, Tony & Jane Clark, Glenn Cormier, Cathie Fearey, Darryl Frost, Steve Fullmer, Fran Gould, Larisse Hall, Lloyd Harwood, Venetia Hill, Mike Howell, Lou Kelly, David Kemp, Rowena Lukomska, Sue Newitt, Ron Oliver, Craig Potton, Fred Robertson, Jane Smith, Marion Towns, Jewels Vine.

Lance Trolle, a local picture framer, has done an amazing job hanging all the work for the exhibition. Viewing times are Monday - Friday from 1.30pm - 3.30pm, and Saturday 11am - 1pm.

You can view the catalogue on the school website under events. To register your interest in the auction, please email . Absentee bidder forms are also available if you cannot make it on the day.
