Presented each year by Art Hawke’s Bay, a non-profit organisation that brings together club-affiliated artists from across the region, the Artfully Yours Exhibition is a long-standing event on the local arts calendar, now in its second decade.
The annual exhibition and competition gathers painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors from across Hawke’s Bay in a single showing and every piece on display is for sale.
Artists compete for prizes across categories including Land, Water, People, Abstract, Art Unlimited and Sculpture, along with the ‘Best in Exhibition’ title, the JW Picture Framing ‘Mystery Prize’, and a ‘People’s Choice’ award decided by visitors.
Each year, two guest selectors judge the entries and share their insights at floor talks during the exhibition’s run. It is held at Arts Inc Heretaunga on Russell Street in Hastings.
The Exhibition is funded mainly by sponsors and grant providers. Art Hawke’s Bay is very grateful for your support.
