SOLO EXHIBITIONS IMPACT
CAREERS OF LOCAL ARTISTS
Whitianga’s Bread & Butter Gallery, has been celebrating its stunning
new upstairs exhibition space with a full year of solo and combined
artists shows.
Gallery owner Christine Rabarts shares, “As an arts dealer, I have
been very pleased with the quality of work selected for the gallery.
Collectors know they can expect only the best from the artists I
showcase. Many clients are in regular communication and often make
special day trips to view the latest collection. Some even come in
from overseas. They can also check new gallery art on our website
and follow us on Facebook.”
Christine notes that “the upstairs extension and additional rooms
have really come into their own this summer. It’s great for showcasing
other artists’ work in between exhibitions as well.” The artists she
chooses to work with have to “demonstrate professionalism and
develop forward. I encourage them to define a theme for their show
and then create a whole body of new works for their exhibition.”
