Muka Youth Prints Mon 27 May | 2–6pm Lake Wanaka Centre
Written by: Laurie (Lo) Stevenson
Muka youth prints is returning to Wanaka on Monday, 27th May from 2.00pm until 6.00pm at the Lake Wanaka Centre. This is an opportunity for young people from age 5 to 18 years old to attend an art exhibition just for them. No adults allowed. Young people have the chance to buy good quality art prints by well-known artists. The iconic exhibition which tours 30 venues throughout New Zealand each year, was initiated by Belgian couple Frans Baetens and Magda Vangils of Muka Gallery in Auckland. The Wanaka Preschool has sponsored this event for the past 15 years, sparking an appreciation for art in many children. Muka has featured many well-established artists such as Pat Hanly, Seraphine Pick, John Pule,
Ralph Hotere and Tony Fomison. Among the 106 artists shown over the past 32 years, 88 have been New Zealanders. The same collection travels to Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Children, 5 to 18 years old, will be able to view and select the works they like in a “blind” sale. Adults wait outside and the names of the artists are hidden. Children make their choices going by what they see and like, rather than by the name of the artist or what their parents think they should be investing in. The works are limited edition lithographs, unframed. There is a limit of three prints per person at a uniform cost of $75 each. Mobile phones and cameras are not permitted.
