Diamond Jubilee 60th National Exhibition 2021
Otago Art Society, Dunedin Railway Station

This special exhibition will be held in Dunedin to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the first exhibition of New Zealand Studio Potters, held at the Otago Museum in November 1957. The contemporary exhibition is complemented by a heritage exhibition with works from this early period and other materials showing the endeavours that led to the formation of New Zealand Society of Potters, which is now known as Ceramics Association of New Zealand (Ceramics NZ). Selected works will be included in a full colour catalogue alongside each artist’s biography and statement. The exhibitions, in conjunction with other events, are organised by the team of Fusion 2010.
