UK Scholarship winner to give public gallery talk

Dunedin curator and exchange scholar Robyn Notman will give a talk on her recent UK arts and heritage trip at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery on August 8.

British High Commissioner George Fergusson and other Dunedin-based friends of the NZ - UK Link Foundation will also attend the public talk.

Notman, a gallery manager, is the latest Clark Collection / Creative New Zealand Scholarship winner to return from the UK.

She won an eight week study tour of the UK attending the Attingham Trust Summer School, a top international arts and heritage course. She then spent time as an intern with
English Heritage, the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace, the Victoria & Albert Museum and at the National Trust.

Notman’s scholarship trip was made possible by the Clark Collection, Creative New Zealand, the NZ-UK Link Foundation and Museums Aotearoa.
