A MASSIVE Thank you!


To our sponsors, families, friends, bar-tenders, musicians, and to all of you who came along on Friday night to support us at our gallery opening and first exhibition, thank-you!

What an evening! We really had no idea what to expect, and by the end of the night I think we can fairly say that we had well over 200 people through our doors.

Many thanks to all of you, who put in the effort to support our contribution to Hamilton's art community. The vibe was awesome and it was so cool to see everyone enjoying the art, music and making the most of the evening.

Here are some pictures of the night, taken by photographer Renee Ashton. More will be posted onto our Facebook page very soon!

The Affordable Art Exhibition is open for the next three weeks, during draw inc.'s opening hours.  Please come along and visit, and support the talented artists we have around us.

Lots of artwork was sold on the opening night and during the weekend, but there is still more for your viewing or purchasing pleasure.

Selected works will be put into the Auction that will be held at the exhibition closing; on Friday 22 July 2011. Silent bids are welcome, so if you cannot make the auction, make sure you put a bid in with the draw inc. committee.

Also, a new sector will be announced and showcased to the public at the exhibition closing event!

Keep your eyes peeled for our Auction posters, we hope to see you soon!

Opening / First Exhibiton is tomorrow


draw inc. will open its doors for the first time to the public on Friday 1 July at 5.30pm with aptly named: ‘The Affordabe Art Showcase’, showcasing a collaborative range of multi-disciplinary works including fine art, illustration, photography and graphic design from graduate and emerging artists.

The artworks are all in, Tim Croucher has curated, and the gallery is almost ready for show!

We spoke to Adrienne Clothier and Margi Moore on Artspace, Community Radio, this evening about our opening and we are starting to get excited!

We can’t wait to let the public enjoy the space and host an evening surrounded by quality art and good company.

The exhibition will run for three weeks, work can be purchased from any of the sectors, with a $50 cash deposit.

Silent bids will be taken from tomorrow onwards, with the auction being held at the closing event on Friday 22 July, from 5.30pm.
