Wanganui Arts Society is preparing for next month's Artists Open Studios Whanganui with a heritage-themed exhibition.
Our Natural Heritage opened at the society's gallery, Cooks Gallery, recently and will run until the end of February.
Gallery director Rob Davies said the society had had a heritage exhibition at the Riverboat Centre during Whanganui Vintage Weekend and it had been so popular that he decided to continue the theme.
Society members have contributed a variety of paintings which more or less fit the topic of "natural heritage".
There are paintings of birds, landscapes, and seas. Artists include Peter Wall, Richard Cotgrove, Jeanette Cutten, and Mr Davies.
