Over the Canterbury Show weekend Art Box headed south via Dunedin, Invercargill, Queenstown, Clyde and Arrowtown collecting art, meeting artists, visiting studios and galleries and generally checking out the vibrant NZ art scene clocking up 1450 kms in four days. We stayed in some amazing historic homes along the way some of which dated back to the late 1800's. Here are a selection of images and paintings that we found along the way and have brought back to the gallery for you. We would be happy to share some of the beautiful places we stayed along the way and some delicious places to eat and drink too - just email us at [email protected]. We hope you can come and check out the gorgeous art soon. It's so good to be able to travel again after Covid lockdowns!

This week were delighted to be asked to supply artworks for the new Papanui branch of Saunders & Co. They have recently moved to the fourth floor at 7, Winston Ave and have updated to a contemporary bold and uplifting look. Art Box was able to visit and advise, revisit with some options and then quote and supply original New Zealand paintings all within a small timeframe. We appreciate companies such as Saunders & Co choosing to support other local businesses and especially NZ artists. We know that art not only enhances the spaces but clients and staff also benefit from vibrant colour making businesses a happier place to visit and work in. If you are a business that would like advice for affordable permanent art then don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected].      www.artboxgallery.info
