Nelson is often touted as
the ARTS Capital of New Zealand, a richly deserved title as there are close to 400 artists of all
disciplines working at their craft.
No doubt attracted by the
superb climate, the surrounding parks, and laid back atmosphere many artists have been inspired to
greatness and international acclaim.
Probably unique to Nelson
is the openness and approachability of the artists and with Art Exposed you are
guided and welcomed into many of the working studios and homes and see first hand their skill and
talent.
With the small group size
of Art Exposed tours there is the flexibility that allows selecting from the large and diverse
array of Galleries and studios to visit.
Examples of the diversity of Art disciplines to be found in
and around Nelson: - Ceramics, Glass, Jewellery, Painting & Printmaking, Photography,
Sculpture, Textiles, Woodwork, Ironwork and Furniture as well as mixed media.
