The Nelson Arts Festival the "best ever"
The Nelson Arts Festival is being declared the best ever in
sales and
positive comment.
Nelson City Council
Festival director Annabel Norman says there were
record
ticket sales.
³People really responded
to our programme and we¹ve had the largest number
of
sell-out shows ever,² she said. ³We¹ve also had big
turnouts at our free
shows and community events.²
Annabel said the Manifest Sculpture Exhibition was
another success -
attracting works of excellence from New
Zealand¹s top sculptors and
achieving some Œexciting¹
sales.
The festival began on October 11 and wound up
last night with a full house
for the Topp Twins, a
thoughtful solo show at the Suter, a hilarious comedy
at
the Deutz Lighthouse and a lot of tired children and adults
who¹d enjoyed
the Fulton Hogan Family Finale at Albion
Square.
The Nelson Arts Festival is presented
annually by the Nelson City Council as
a celebration for
locals and an attraction for visitors.
