Art South Otago’s 57th annual exhibition and sale is running until October 29 at Balclutha’s Te Pou Ō Mata-Au, Clutha District War Memorial and Community Centre (TPŌMA). 

The show features almost 40 works from about 20 artists including local veterans, rising talent and guest exhibitors from Gore’s art community.

Organisers said TPŌMA offered a professional setting and wider community reach, while the exhibition had been a long-standing competition, focus was now on "creating an exhibition that highlights talent across Clutha and South Otago in a professional setting with excellent lighting and display facilities."
