ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION

This selection of work from the Ashburton Art Gallery’s collection celebrates the varied landscapes of the Ashburton district. Some scenes are iconic and enduring, while others have changed through time’s passing. The paintings span a period from the 1960s to the late 2010s, and demonstrate how artists have responded to our district’s urban, rural and wilderness environs.
