One Size Fits All, an exhibition for NZ artists

One Size Fits All is a small paintings show for artists from all over new Zealand, primarily to get a huge amount of local artists together in one place and give the public a chance to view a snapshot of as many artists as possible in one viewing!
The show has been running for four years now and has attracted quite a following both from artist around the country as well as buyers and collectors who have taken up the idea and concept of having groups of smaller artworks rather than one large piece in some parts of their house or business.
The 2010 show is et to be held in August and registrations to exhibit close on the 1st July so any budding artists out there interested you have a few days left to get your entries forms in, the artwork doesn't need to be until the 1st August so no need to panic about that.
This is the information you will need, feel free to contact the gallery if you have any questions. Contact details below
