The Suter Art Gallery has launched a new ArtWalk in Richmond town centre, an extension of the hugely successful Nelson City Centre ArtWalk project by Make/Shift Spaces.
The Suter’s Tasman ArtWalk will be a visual journey through our region; stories, people, places, history and outstanding scenery.
Works from the permanent collection were chosen to be replicated and magnified for blank walls in the Tasman region to create a wonderful outdoor exhibition. Expect to see pieces from celebrated artists such as Leo Bensemann, Toss Woollaston, Sally Burton, and Irvine Major.
“I think this is one of the most innovative ideas to come across my desk. I look forward to seeing these major artworks displayed on the walls of Richmond and eventually Motueka, Māpua, Tākaka and beyond”
Rather than being painted onto the sides of buildings, the artwork images are printed onto aluminium and then securely attached to the sides of buildings around the city.
The Suter’s Tasman ArtWalk aims to make art an engaging experience for as many people as possible and will see the artworks installed at various locations around the region. Initially, art will appear on the streets of Richmond, then extend to Motueka, Golden Bay and other centres in Tasman.
We really appreciate the help and support we received from all of the property owners and tenants. Without them, we would be unable to bring such a wonderful project to life. Thank you.
