WE'RE SAVING ART FROM THE SKIP AND FRAMING IT FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE.

LEVEL 2 UPDATE: Due to the restrictions on mass gatherings we are now holding two separate viewings. First viewing from 5.30pm - 7.15pm. Second viewing from 7.30pm - 9.30pm. We are committed to doing our bit to contain this virus. Thank you for being so flexible and still coming out to support Ōtautahi’s future creatives.

Incredible artwork is created at a secondary school level and, more often than not, these student art folios end up either in a deep, dark corner of their parents' garage or in the school skip.

The Creators’ Room provides a free program to secondary school visual artists to showcase their work and connect with our community of growing collectors.

The 2020 Art Stars exhibition is making its way to The Welder, 20 Welles Street, Christchurch:

OPENING NIGHT: Friday 28 August
First viewing: 5.30pm – 7.15pm
Venue Clean: 7.15pm - 7.30pm
Second viewing: 7.30pm - 9.30pm
Limited Tickets.

The exhibition is also open to the public during the day:
EXHIBITION: 29 August – 10 September, Open daily 9am - 4pm. Free entry.

100 original student artworks and limited edition prints will be exhibited for two weeks alongside works from 15 established local artists. All artwork is available for sale, all remunerating the Creator. Exhibiting students have been expertly selected from a pool of over 2,000 submissions from 24 participating high schools for a life-changing affirmation and taste of the industry. Everyone is welcome - from serious collectors to art lovers and people who get a buzz from supporting local. This event will get you feeling good about the future of Ōtautahi art.

Filling collector’s homes and hearts, the money raised from art sales goes to the young artists to help them pursue a career in the arts; so far $85,000 has gone back into funding the young creators.

We have an amazing line up of catering partners on board this year and want to give a special shout out to these legends: The Welder, Two Raw Sisters, Bottle + Stone, Barefoot, Grizzly Baked Goods, Zeffer, Harringtons and Lindauer.

Step up and show your support at Art Stars 2020, an exhibition of Ōtautahi’s future creatives.

Opening night tickets are limited.
No door sales.
