A dazzling variety of artworks descended on the Sarjeant On The Quay gallery on Monday for the 2014 Whanganui Arts Review receiving day.
By 2pm more than 100 artworks had been presented for the review, including paintings, photographs, sculpture, glass, and multi-media works.
The Sarjeant's curator and public programmes manager, Greg Donson, said the works would be catalogued and the short-listing process would begin.
The selection will be carried out by Mr Donson, Space Gallery owner Sarah Williams, and former Tylee Cottage artist-in-residence Johanna Pegler.
The selected works will form an exhibition, and a winning work will be chosen by judge Helen Kedgley from the Pataka ArtPlus Museum in Porirua.
