I’m giving a lunch time talk in the Matariki Campus Gallery this Friday. Come along and hear more about UC’s recent art acquisitions. Thanks and hopefully see you there! Lydia
Curators Talk, Friday 21st April @ 12.30pm for Look, Look, See exhibition in the Matariki Campus Gallery.
Look, Look, See showcases a selection of works recently acquired by the University of Canterbury via acquisition and donation.

Here is your opportunity to enrich UC’s environment. Staff and students are invited to view the exhibition and apply for works to be displayed in a department or chosen area on campus.

Even though I had to leave part way through Lydia’s talk, I really enjoyed this presentation and learned a lot. It was also interesting to see what art works staff had voted for to be displayed in their work areas.
