2017 Events:

The Green Island Art Group Exhibition was held in the Meridian Mall from the 21st-24th Sept. It was a very good success for many of the painters with 56 pictures and 3 stones sold. We also had a lot of people taking time to look at the paintings and convey their appreciation and positive comments on the quality of the work exhibited. 

The Green Island Art Group have an annual competition, and the subject is voted on earlier in the year.  This year the subject that was chosen was "Otago Landscape".  There were 20 paintings submitted, all of a high quality and many of these were exhibited in the annual exhibition at the Meridian Mall from the 21st to the 24th of September 2017. 

 2016 Events: 
The Group was fortunate to have Janet Duncan, herself a very accomplished painter, speak to us on 3 separate occasions. Janet has returned to Dunedin having spent 50 years working at Boston University and was very good in imparting her knowledge of painting, regarding structure, colours that are warm and those that are cool, to be used on the subject chosen.  She also commented on some of her own paintings which she displayed and asked our members to make suggestions as to how they felt they might be improved. Janet's tutoring was very much appreciated by everyone.

The Hope Awards were held at the Art Station in Dunedin and some of our members paintings were accepted to enter. This provided a real thrill to those chosen.
