Hats off to our cleverest bastard, at present, Andi Regan. She's made us very proud by winning the Central Otago Art Awards with "Central Bloom", a masterpiece of elegant design. Andi also got an honourable mention at the prestigious Brancott Estate World of Wearable Art Awards in Wellington. The mention was for "Pohutakawa Princess", a beautiful piece of art and fashion hand-made with Andi's signature material: cable ties. Andi is participtating in an exhibition of contemporary art by 50 New Zealand Artists. The Central Otago Art Awards exhibition at Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery in Alexandra is on now. We encourage you to view the Art Awards winners and vote. This vote goes toward deciding the $1000 Viewers Choice Award which will be announced at the end of the exhibition of the 28th of October.
