What's On:
KIDZSHOW 2012
The Kidzshow is a joint venture between the Stratford District Youth Council, Stratford Art Society and Percy Thomson Gallery. Resene have kindly donated the paints for the 3rd consecutive year to make this event possible. This annual event is themed ‘Hot Off the Press’. Participants will each receive an art pack – a 40cm x 40cm canvas, 4 test pots of Resene acrylics, along with a Front Page of a newspaper to be used in conjunction with the artwork; i.e. incorporated into/stuck on/content used as inspiration. The artwork will be judged and prizes awarded – 1st, 2nd and 3rd. They must supply their own brushes and painting implements. Artworks must use only the packs supplied – no extra materials. This creates a fair competition to all entered. Participants will be expected to complete an enrolment form at the gallery with name, age address etc, to be handed in upon collection of art pack (1 February onwards) Forms available from Stratford Info Centre, Stratford Library and Percy Thomson Gallery.

Previous Exhibition:
10th Birthday Celebration
The gallery has developed and grown over the yeas now receiving national recognition as a thriving and diverse exhibition space catering for all age groups and interests and involving the Community at large. Our success would not have been possible without the support from TET, Creative Communities and groups and artists who have exhibited in the gallery over this time.
