The Ashburton Society of Arts (ASA) Annual Exhibition returns to the Gallery this July for its 59^th incarnation. This exhibition is a visual delight, bringing together works from local, national, and guest artists in a variety of media.

All exhibited works in this exhibition are available to purchase. The commissions from sales directly contribute to the running of the ASA studio at 53 Short Street. This dynamic space prides itself in being a venue for all; the space hosts a variety of art-inspired workshops, meetings and events, and a great art resource library.

ASA members will be present at the Gallery everyday throughout the exhibition, so this is a great opportunity to visit and learn more about one of Ashburton’s longest established art organisations.

The ASA 59th Annual Exhibition guest artists include Adrienne Pavelka, Janie Porter, Liz Craig, Margaret Digby, Sayoko Pettigrew, Sheila Brown, and Tony Rice.
