Building our Future | District Art Competition
In conjunction with the Ashburton District Council, the Gallery is hosting the annual district art competition.  This year, visitors are asked to drawing a picture of what the imagine Ashburton will look like in the future.  The winning design will be chosen by the Mayor and will be the ADC festive season card.  An additional 50 designs will be used as hoardings around the construction of the new Council Buildings on Baring Square.

This October, visitors will get a chance to play catch-up with Molly and will be able to collect all six pieces that have been released to date.  An activity sheet can be collected from reception before embarking on a hunt through the Gallery to find our canine friend.
