What's on at the library
Art @ the Library
In 2020 Westland Arts Incorporated and Westland District Library collaborated to make a free exhibition space available in the library.
Art @ the Library is a small, nimble and flexible project that aims to provide exhibition space for artistic and innovative proposals.
Current Exhibit:
Paintings
by Graham Ashby
About the artist:
Graham has been a member of the Hokitika Art Group since 2004 however, he does prefer to work from home.
His medium is oils and many of his paintings have found a home with family.
He is now using water-based oils, which he says are very transparent and do not produce fumes, making it possible to paint in the warmth of his lounge.
Due to a heart condition and now on Paliative care at home he paints on days when he is well enough.
If you are interested in being a part of the Art@the Library project and exhibiting your creative works we encourage you to read through the guidelines and submit an application (linked below). Paper applications may be collected from and returned to Westland District Library.
