The Tin Palace - Dreams come alive in Lyttelton The first of the monthly programme of exhibitions at the Tin Palace in Lyttelton will open on Wednesday 28th August at 5:30pm. Transit of Dreams is a group show, featuring works that respond to the theme of dreams, fantasy or an imagined reality by artists Claire Third, Gaby Reade, Ruth Killoran, Bettina Evans, Anne Fountain, Blanche Fryer, Annette Ashton, Rachel Thornton and Frankie Bakker. The exhibition comprises visual art, mixed media, ceramics and taxidermy. “We’ve had an excellent response from artists wanting to exhibit their work and gave an open brief for artists to interpret. The result of this, is a diverse and interesting collection of work. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the works in situ, complimenting and contrasting with each other” commented Anne Mortimer, curator. The Tin Palace is the realisation of a dream by the Harbour Arts Collective to provide an opportunity for artists to exhibit in Lyttelton and to provide the local community with access to the arts on their doorstep. The Tin Palace will also be hosting events to support the exhibition programme, beginning with Christchurch based, The Story Collective on Saturday 31st August who will be on hand to tell stories inspired by the works on display between 1 and 3pm. Admission to the exhibition is free. The exhibition is open Thursday and Fridays 11-3 and Saturday and Sunday 10 - 4 pm from 29 August until 8 September.
