Rise Up: Celebrating 80 Years of Creativity at Risingholme

Creativity can come in many forms. This special public exhibition showcases a curated collection of artworks made by tutors and learners at Risingholme. It highlights the breadth of creative practice at Risingholme, and reflects on its 80-year legacy of nurturing the arts.

Covering a range of media from painting, pottery, patchwork, and wood sculpture, Rise Up is a chance to celebrate artistic achievement, empower and support emerging artists, and contribute to the wellbeing of our community through a meaningful engagement with art. Entry is free with some artworks available for purchase.

Rise Up and join us for a weekend of community and creativity this September!

Exhibition presented with the support of the Christchurch City Creative Communities Scheme.
