What's On in the Arts in Central Otago - March
Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery - "Bannockburn - A Place to Stand" by Jan
and Tim Hawkins. "Bannockburn - A Place to Stand" opens at Central Stories on March 1. Tim and Jan Hawkins, long term residents of Bannockburn, have combined their talents to present a snapshot of the town, describing through imagery and words, what it means to be living there in 2024. Stories of a surfing journalist, a solo round the world yachtsman, an ocean rower, a sailor for a research ship to the sub-Antarctic, born and bred Bannockburnians and others from across the world are the focus of this exhibition. Some were drawn to Bannockburn though the nostalgia of happy family holidays, others chose to live there for the twelve
wineries in close proximity. Some are not permanent residents, but it is their bolthole, their future home, or both. Tim's photography and Jan's words shape a portrait of this special part of Central Otago. This exhibition will be on show from March 1 until the end of Easter so get along and take a look. Riverside Gallery, Artist in Residence - Ira Mitchell Award
