The Affordable Art Exhibition opens on Friday at Gizzy Local, a community space on Lowe Street in Gisborne. Designer Katy Wallace and her husband Paulus McKinnon are organizing the show, which features eclectic local artworks priced under $250.
This exhibition matters because it makes art accessible to a broader audience by keeping prices low, supporting local artists and designers while encouraging community engagement with visual art. It reflects a grassroots effort to democratize art collecting and showcase regional talent.
