Wanaka Arts sponsors local artists London Art Biennale
Written by: Kym Beaton
Wanaka Arts, formerly Wanaka Arts Society, is proudly sponsoring two local members in their entry to the London Art Biennale this year. Youth member, Max Hall with his entry ‘So Much Monet’ and Jane Kellahan’s entry ‘Beefore the End’ were selected to be exhibited in this prestigious event from entries around the world. One of Wanaka Arts goals is to support local artists in our community to reach their potential. Both Max and Jane needed financial assistance to get their entries safely shipped to the UK for the event, so the Wanaka Arts committee decided that they would sponsor both artists. Max’s response to Wanaka Arts sponsorship…“Thank you so much for this sponsorship. I am very, very grateful for the Wanaka Arts generosity!” Max is a past winner of the Youth prize for Wanaka Arts annual exhibition. Jane’s reaction to the sponsorship; “I’m very
appreciative of Wanaka Arts and their support of me and my work. It means so much.” Jane is also a winner of a Wanaka Arts award at the last Labour Weekend exhibition. This isn’t Jane’s first London Art Biennale though. She entered in 2015 and received a ‘Special Mention of Excellence’ and with her recent entry Jane is looking to raise awareness of the plight of bees globally. “I want to get people thinking deeper and harder about the consequences of their actions.” Jane quotes Albert Einstein, “If the bee disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would have only four years to live”. The London Art Biennale features 120 artists selected from 40 nations and runs from 23–26 May 2019 in Chelsea. At the time of press, no judges announcements had been received by either artist.
