Webb’s art combined with music, food and drink

Viewing the work of Dunedin artist Marilynn Webb during Art Night at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery yesterday is Jen Shelzitski.

Art Night was once a regular occurrence called Third Thursdays when it hosted live music and food for families and friends to come and enjoy after hours.

Visitor programme co-ordinator Mya Morrison-Middleton said it was ‘‘pretty special’’ to have to event brought back in this way.

Attendees enjoyed food provided by Yours Cafe, interactive activities, music and drinks — including a cocktail inspired by Webb’s art.

"Marilynn, she's got a whole series about food and recipes — she was a really famous host. So, I thought it'd be good to do something that was about hospitality."

Webb’s show was the only exhibit open on the first floor where guests could have items screen-printed with her designs.
