Pastel Artists NZ (PANZ) are holding their annual nation exhibition across both the Toi and Bottle Creek galleries, showcasing the work of PANZ members from all around the country. PANZ aims are to promote pastel art as an art form in its own right and to promote New Zealand pastel artists.
An independent panel will judge all the entries and will award an overall winner, a highly commended award, and four merit awards. There will also be a People’s Choice award for the work which gains the most votes from the public. The PANZ annual conference will be held at Pataka at the same time.
