Meet The Artists Who Will Be Entertaining You At Art Do 2018…

Note

Six of our favourite artists (and our very own boss) will be playing you chilled beats this October at Art Do 208. Pull up a seat in the designer surroundings of the Warren and Mahoney vinyl lounge and soak up the dulcet tones.

With fifty artists from all over Aotearoa at Art Do, it will be an opportunity to meet and speak with your favourite contemporary artists. But you’ll need to do something quick smart to be there (seriously) – the Art Do is already half full. Grab your tickets to New Zealand’s biggest art party over here.

Shannon Te Ao vs Nathan Pohio

Wellington-based, Walters Prize winning artist Shannon Te Ao and Christchurch Art Gallery’s very own art superstar Nathan Pohio become the first Art duo to play their favourite records. Settle in for this one!
