The Exhibition is being held at The Cloud at Downtown Auckland this year due to renovations at Lopdell House. What a stunning venue, filled with sunlight with the harbour glistening in the background.
In amongst the crap there was some beautiful pottery.
One of my favourites was Rick Rudd's Ten Green Bottles Smile
Check out the Arts Dairy link for photos from opening night -
