Jan 10, 2020 What's On
For the first calendar of 2020, we’ve got some exhibitions and low-key gigs to ease you into the new year.
Louise Henderson: From Life
French-born New Zealand artist Louise Henderson (1902-1994) was known for her bold style, featuring colourful Cubist shapes that fit together to hint at abstractions of floral arrangement or the female figure. This major survey looks back at her career, from early watercolours to The Twelve Months, a monumental series she completed at 85 years old.
