Inside the Art Collection with Damian Skinner.

Dr Damian Skinner presents the first in a series of informal lectures.  This series will focus firmly on works from the museum’s art collection and the varieties of ways artworks can be discussed and thought about.  A panel of guests will be invited to contribute to the dialogue about the works.  Each session will be one hour long and take place in the Discovery Centre, and will be punctuated by a networking session with drinks and nibbles provided.  Places are limited, with Friends members and members of Creative Tairawhiti having preference.  The cost to non members is $5 per lecture or a gold coin donation for students.
