The Eastern Southland Gallery in Gore will be the new home of the 7.5 tonne, 135 year old lithographic press from Muka Studios here in Auckland. In order to house it they have recently acquired an old church and are working towards fitting it out with artist-in-residence accomodation. In order to assist with raising the considerable relocation fee for the press and for the new residence, the Eastern Southland Gallery are holding a fundraising auction on the weekend of the 25th of November which will be conducted by ART+OBJECT. A valuation day will also be conducted at the gallery whereby Southland residents can bring their artworks in for appraisal and for insurance valuations by the A+O team.
