Exhibition opening – Beginnings Peter Ireland

Join the artist at the museum for the opening of Beginnings: adventures on the way to painting

This exhibition consists of 33 paintings dating from 1956,when the artist was 9, until the later 1990s.

“There is no one template for becoming an artist. There may be some promising avenues … but ultimately each committed artist forges his or her work through the circumstances … largely by chance, but perhaps with a determination to make sense of it all.” – Peter Ireland

The exhibition is accompanied by a beautiful catalogue, designed and printed here in Gisborne – and will be available to purchase for $15.00 (with a 10% discount for Friends of the Museum), with all proceeds supporting the museum. This will be available from opening night onwards.
