ABROAD HAS NOW DEPARTED PTG ... READY TO GO ON TOUR ...
'ABROAD; what's in the suitcase' arrived swiftly at Percy Thomson Gallery, in August 2023. Over 2000 visitors from around Aotearoa experienced 35 suitcases 'packed' with original artworks by Taranaki artists.
Departing the Gallery in September 2023, this exhibition will now tour to other locations. At the next destination the Curators will invite artists to participate from that region. The ultimate goal is to see the exhibition grow as it tours nationwide.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Curated by Morgan & Black. An invite-only touring exhibition, where each artist presents a work that unpacks an element of their creative practice; with the suitcase being the support and carrier, marking its journey from the studio to the gallery. This exhibition supports local artists to break into a new method of creativity. It’s sure to pack a punch!
A travelling group show with a difference." Within this exhibition each selected artist presents a work that unpacks an element of their creative practice; with the suitcase being the support and carrier, marking its journey from the studio to the gallery.
Everyone packs a little something extra, and so to this end does this project carrying the artistic and curatorial process as one."
