Our very own Arts on the Rail Trail begins on the 10th February. Around 40 Central Otago artists, galleries and workshops are participating in this year's event which runs until April 30th. A couple of exciting new additions to the Arts on the Cycle Trail concept will be happening soon so keep an eye out on our Central Otago Arts Facebook page for updates over the coming weeks.
It looks like we may see a temporary end to these maddening weather events in time for Waitangi weekend in Central Otago. A predicted 20 degrees will be the perfect temperature to enjoy
the Central Otago Craft Beer Festival which is happening on Saturday at Pioneer Park in Alexandra. Celebrations start at 2 pm with plenty of delicious food, craft beer and wines on offer - along with entertainment by fantastic local bands 'The Burning Fridges',' Kamikaze Mistress' and 'The Sea Beast'.
The Lauder Ukulele Festival kicks off on Friday with three days of concerts, workshops and celebrations. People from all over New Zealand flock to Lauder to participate in this entertaining weekend which is well worth a look.
'Rediscovering Elizabeth Stevens' - a retrospective collection of works by the late Alexandra artist, opens at Central Stories Museum and Art Gallery on February
11th. Stevens practised a distinct departure from usual interpretations of the Central Otago Landscape in and around the 60's and 70's. Her style of work linked to international trends in art practice and offered a fresh and enlightened approach to the arts in Central Otago at the time. This exhibition of Stevens paintings showcase works that span some 40 years of her career as an artist - from the 1960's to the early 2000's. 'Rediscovering Elizabeth Stevens' will be on at Central Stories until April 29th.
Enjoy everything Central Otago has to offer in the arts in February.
