Art cart to come to Stratford | Taranaki News | Local News in Taranaki

THE Real Art Roadshow is hitting Taranaki, and will be in Stratford on July 11-12.
From 10am-4pm, outside the Percy Thomson Gallery some of the work of New Zealand’s finest contemporary artists will be on show for anyone who wishes to come along and enjoy them.  The Real Art Roadshow is New Zealand’s only travelling art gallery designed to give Kiwi kids and their families the chance to experience Real Art, up close and personal.
The exhibition is housed in two huge trucks - one black, one silver - that literally unfold to form a couple of 78 square metre mobile art galleries. Stratford will be receiving the Black Gallery
Each displays over 60 pieces of original art by a cross-section of well known and emerging New Zealand artists, including Tony de Lautour, Dick Frizzell, Simon Ogden, Gretchen Albrecht, Don Driver, Ralph Hotere, Robin Kahukiwa and Gordon Walters.
Together they form a fascinating and insightful collection of post 1945 New Zealand visual art.
Check out some of the fascinating works at this year’s Real Art Roadshow in Stratford.
