"I approached local artists and asked them to choose a memoir and create their responses to them.
"They are a very diverse group of artists and they all work in different mediums so I'm really excited to see what they have come up with."
The exhibition will be curated by Sarah Williams at Space Gallery and Ms Williams says 12 artists have contributed works including paintings, photographs, ceramic pieces and mixed media interpretations.
Ms Scarrow said local businesses have sponsored the artists to the tune of $100 each to cover their material costs and all proceeds from the sale of works will be donated to Women's Network Whanganui.
The opening of La Fiesta and An Artist's Response commences at Space Studio and Gallery, 64 Taupo Quay at 5.30pm today. All welcome.
