MANAWATU FARMING LIFESTYLES
Farmers are encouraged to demonstrate their creative talents using natural materials and items they can up-cycle from around the farm for an inaugural rural sculpture competition in April 2018.
T
he New Zealand Rural Sculpture Awards will be part of a oneday arts festival to be held at the Kimbolton Domain in the northern Manawatu. A group of like-minded people, which includes recent arrivals and established community leaders in the small settlement of Kimbolton, grouped together and formed an arts trust to host the national rural sculpture festival. Kimbolton Arts and Sculpture Trust chairman Tony Waugh said he wants to see farmers and others who live on the land, try their hand at sculpting using
wood, metal or anything hanging about. “It could be fence battens, machinery parts, bailing twine or old drench containers. “We are looking to provide an incentive for anyone who works land or has something to say about the New Zealand landscape, to leave their worries about making ends meet behind and engage with bigger ideas.” Tony said the Australian town of Lockhart has held a rural sculpting festival for ten years and now attracts thousands of people to the fourday event.
