A steady stream of artists brought works of all kinds to Whanganui's Sarjeant Gallery yesterday- hoping they will be chosen for the 2018 Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare O Rehua Whanganui Arts Review.
2018 is the 30th year for the review, which is the longest running in the country, gallery relationships officer Jaki Arthur said. She liked what she was seeing.
"Whanganui can be proud of its artists and today we have seen them coming out in force with some very exciting, daring and different kind of works," she said.
There were ceramics, glassworks, paintings, photographs, and textiles. By 3pm 117 had been handed over, and the total was on track to rival last year's 140.
Artists will know if their work has been chosen by March 7.
