Wellington art co-operative, ARTrove, is helping ensure there are no post-WOW blues for locals this month by holding a new group exhibition.
The group’s latest art exhibition will showcase the work of 10 talented Wellington artists. It is being held from Tuesday October 16 until Saturday October 20 in the foyer of the Asteron Centre, opposite Wellington Railway Station.
ARTrove was started in 2011 by three Wellington artists, Adele Eagleson, Karen Hamilton-Smith and Kirsty Fyfe, who are all passionate about creativity and about sharing affordable art with the public.

ARTrove’s first exhibition was held during the Rugby World Cup 2011 and included the work of nine local artists.

“We came up with the name ARTrove because we wanted to bring a treasure trove of local art to various spaces throughout Wellington. Last year’s show was in the St James and now we’re moving further north to showcase in the Asteron Centre. We want to bring affordable art of a limited number of artists to different locations around the city. It gives people a taste of the talent that we have in this city,” said Kirsty Fyfe.
The work of the following artists will be on show:
Paul Vincent
Sue Lund
Karina Rossiter
Kylie Law
Amanda Smart
Sue Malthus
Sam Walker
Adele Eagleson
Karen Hamilton-Smith
Kirsty Fyfe
There will be a wide range of artwork for sale, including abstract, figurative and whimsical paintings and etchings. Prices will range from NZ$50 to $3,000.
