A giant paint-by-numbers picture will be unveiled in Dunedin next week.

The 2.4m by 1.2m drawing of the Otago Peninsula has been created as a fundraising venture for the Caselberg Trust.

The project was conceived by University of Otago students Shane Turner, Brittany Pannett and Dave Kalinowsky, as part of their commerce studies.

"We thought it was good way to get publicity for the trust," Mr Turner said yesterday. The plywood canvas was donated by PlaceMakers manager Justin Macready and drawn by Otago Polytechnic School of Art student Becky Hamilton, who spent a day at Caselberg House designing the artwork.

"There were meant to be 100 segments, but I accidentally did one extra; so there are now 101 segments in total," Ms Hamilton said.

Each section has been colour-coded and can be painted at the Otago Farmers Market from 9am till midday next Saturday for a small donation.

The Caselberg Trust was established in 2006 to host creative residencies at the Broad Bay home of late-Dunedin writer John Caselberg and his artist wife Anna.
