One of the two Judges is Assoc Prof Linda Tyler.
Then a 20 minute drive to Te Uru. While there is much to see here, we will focus on the Te Papa touring exhibition Rita Angus: New Zealand Modernist | He Ringatoi Hou o Aotearoa. It brings together 20 works by one of New Zealand’s most iconic 20th-century artists, Rita Angus (1908–1970).
