We love visitors to Waikaka, especially in November, and it will be awesome to see you at the exhibition.

Waikaka Arts Exhibition: Bringing Arts and Crafts to the rural heart of Southland.

About our Exhibition
​Our organising committee look forward to welcoming our exhibitors, invited guests and visitors.

This year we are honoured to have Jono Gardyne as our guest artist.
​
Once again we anticipate a wonderful exhibition where everyone will be surprised, uplifted and wowed by the clever creations.

We pride ourselves on displaying artists work in a positive, interesting manner. We feel our exhibition is a great avenue for emerging artists.  We are exhibitor friendly with minimal entry and commission fees.

​Most of the arts and crafts featured throughout the exhibition can be purchased by members of the public during the week of the exhibition and are available for collection at the end of the exhibition.

Guest Artist: Margaret Palmer

Impressionism is the basis for Margaret's work and colour, texture and movement in various mediums and subjects are an important aspect of her practice.

Margaret likes to capture the essence of her subjects, whether they be landscape, life or still life, and endeavours to do this as a first priority. Margaret feels privileged to follow and fulfil her passion. She lives in Gore and in 2004, graduated with a Diploma in Art and Creativity (Honours).

"I guess I just paint for you to enjoy. I hope my works give you as much pleasure as they have given me during their creation. I have no desire to follow a style. For me, painting is like life: an experience, an interaction with whatever comes along." (Margaret Palmer).
