The School of Fine Arts/Te kura toi of the University of Canterbury will be holding an Open Day for prospective students, their teachers, parents and whanau on Friday 12 September.

There will be a number of displays and events, including current student work, demonstrations of studio processes, films, a selection from the University art collection, and a careers panel, as well as a barbecue for all-comers from 5 p.m. to 6.30 p.m.

 

Associate Professor Pamela Gerrish Nunn said the open day was a chance to see inside the School of Fine Arts, get information from the staff “and the low-down from the students that will help anyone wondering what to take at University next year to decide if a degree in one of our subjects is for them”.
