Hi-tech displays awe visitors
They say innovation is changing the way we do business and this was professionally demonstrated by the Tulloch site at National Fieldays.
Enteries have closed for the Fieldays No.8 Wire National Art Award.
National Fieldays and Waikato Museum are looking to the arts community for No.8 wire innovation, offering a first prize of $8000.
Fieldays head of events Lee Picken says the award draws on an iconic farm product and translates this through talent and ingenuity into an art form.
“Entries must be 75% No.8 wire which leaves scope for other materials to be combined with wire to create a winning artwork. This award promotes ingenuity and takes everyday practical agricultural products into the art gallery.”
Last year Fieldays doubled the first prize money to $8000 and the award was won by Te Awamutu mother and son Nick and Dagmar Elliot with Rustic Hinaki.
The contest is longstanding at Fieldays and culminates in a month-long exhibition: the finalists’ work will be on show June 5-29 at ArtsPost Galleries & Shop, Hamilton.
