Artworks on show at Whanganui's Cooks Gallery cover a broad spectrum of mediums and a wide variety of artists.
The Wanganui Arts Society Annual Exhibition includes a painting by most senior member Hilde Sutton through to a work by a young, junior member of the society.
"We have had afew new members join this year and we are always looking for more," says long-serving member Judy Webby.
The society is Whanganui's oldest arts collective, formed in 1901, and there have been intergenerational memberships and family groups involved over the decades.
Webby, a former art teacher at Whanganui High School, has some of her own paintings on show including a scene of the O'Leary farm.
Painter and potter John Singleton has a selection of his two and three-dimensional works on show and there are paintings by Richard Cotgrove, Stephanie Lockwood and Heather Spooner.
"Our members work in a diverse range of mediums and there are some beautiful works in this show," says Webby.
"They provide some excellent examples of the width and depth of experience and disciplines."
