Whanganui’s Boring Gallery holds fourth combined art exhibition
Peter Shepherd used to own and run Red Door Gallery in Putiki, then after a couple of years break, he started the Boring Gallery at the front of the community art centre, 19 Taupō Quay.
This is run as a co-op with the artists working in the gallery.
This is the fourth combined art exhibition they have put on. The first was a clock exhibition at Expressions Gallery, then an old-style radio exhibition at Red Door Gallery, and a functional art exhibition at Red Door Gallery.
“Each time the artists have been given a totally free hand with it, so we get truly inspiring work,” says Shepherd. “We will also have a people’s choice award as people vote for their favourite work. They go into the draw to win a $100 voucher to be used at the Boring Gallery.”
