from out of the blue studio gallery

'from out of the blue studio gallery' is a boutique gallery specialising in all things Fibre. We are committed to showcasing the best of both New Zealand and overseas fibre artists across a wide variety of expressions. The studio gallery also houses Viv's own making spaces which include large floor and tapestry looms. There is a 6 weekly rotation for all exhibitions allowing for invited solo exhibitions and juried shows that are themed.  This makes sure there is always something fresh to view. Many of the exhibiting artists also offer workshops in such techniques as paper making, needle felting, Saori weaving manipulation, book making, basketry,  etc. etc. All the events, exhibitions, workshops and calls for entry are kept current on the website. Current exhibition is 'Boundless - Artist's Books'. This is curated exhibition of works from an international open call for Artist's Books. Over 40 works were selected from the entries and these are now on display in the gallery. There has been an award for 'The Most Engaging Work' and 'Highly Commended'  which will be announced on Sunday July 5th by the Judge - Toni Hartill. There is a third award to be chosen  - People's Choice which must be voted for in person in the gallery. The winners of the Judge's awards will be announced on Sunday 5th July at a Gallery Gathering. from 2pm. A free community event - all welcome.
