Wow - what a whirlwind.

As we start to breathe again after a furious few days pulling together the event, hosting artists, sponsors and attendees at the Gala Night, and then welcoming the public into the exhibition on Saturday we wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone involved.

Firstly, thank you to our wonderful featured artist for 2026 Viv Wotton - Fine Artist. Being the featured artist at an exhibition is a big commitment and we really appreciate the hours and care that Viv spent creating such beautiful works to headline our event and share with everyone attending. Thanks again Viv, we've loved working with you and getting to see your work and dedication up close.

Next up our wonderful sponsors. Without their support, this event wouldn't happen. They are local legends and play a major role in supporting Mt Pleasant School and PTA fundraise to keep the Mt Pleasant School magic alive. So thank you again Ray White Ferrymead , New World Ferry Road , JSC Architectural & Building Solutions and Vino Fino we really appreciate your support.

An exhibition wouldn't be an exhibition without all the talented artists who share their creativity and works with us. Thank you so much to every artist who participated in the exhibition this year, we know hours of work have gone in behind the scenes getting your pieces ready to show. A special shout out to those who donated works to the live auction at our Gala Night - thank you again.

And to our wonderful community of volunteers and teachers - from pounding the pavements delivering flyers, turning sausages on the BBQ, preparing canapes for Gala Night, supporting artists set up, guiding our children to create their own masterpieces to display, and so much more - thank you again for all your efforts, we hope you got to put your feet up on Saturday night and relax.

Finally, to everyone who came to the exhibition and supported our school and artists through purchasing works, tickets, raffles and prints - thank you. We hope you enjoyed the exhibition and the efforts our artists (both big and small) put in to delight your eyes.

Christine Maynard Art is a self-taught abstract landscape artist based right here in Christchurch.

Working primarily in acrylics, she creates atmospheric, intuitive interpretations of the NZ landscape. Over the past ten years, she has exhibited in numerous group shows and presented four solo exhibitions. Christine’s work continues to evolve as she hints at what lies beneath the surface—an undercurrent of life and movement, a quiet lifting of the veil.

If one of these just has to hang in your home, grab your Gala Night tickets and come along to the opening of the Mt Pleasant Art Exhibition 2026 tomorrow night.

⚔️We are beyond excited to have The-Space-Cowboy participating in this year's exhibition.

If you know nothing about him, then hold onto your socks as he'll blow them off with his works that combine colour, character and hidden augmented reality - yes the art actually jumps off the canvas 🫨

Take a look at just how he makes his art come alive at https://thespacecowboygallery.com

Chayne is a multi award winning artist, and a 56 time Guinness World Record holder. An internationally acclaimed performer turned visual artist, he creates vibrant paintings that blend whimsy, elegance, and playful storytelling. Best known for his anthropomorphic animal characters, his work combines traditional techniques with street art energy, expressive splashes, and layers of movement. Many pieces also feature a secret augmented reality animation that brings the artwork to life through a smartphone.

Ashleigh Ritchie Visual Artist is a North Canterbury–based artist known for her vibrant and expressive portraits. Working primarily in oil on wood panel, her paintings often feature people or animals, combined with floral and natural elements.

🦊Moss & Fox is an original oil painting, part of an ongoing series where moss, leaves, and forest textures are woven into each subject.

🐴Moss & Mane captures a close, quiet moment between two horses. Their heads gently together in a way that feels instinctive and calm. Their eyes are soft, almost lowered, as if the moment is shared just between them. Moss, ferns and leaves rest through their manes and along their foreheads, settling naturally into the contours of their forms.

Ashleigh began her Bachelor of Applied Visual Arts at Ara Institute of Canterbury (CPIT) in 2012 and was awarded the Friends of the Christchurch Art Gallery Scholarship for excellence in 2014. She regularly exhibits in group shows across Canterbury and has received several exhibition awards.

These works just have to be seen up close.

🌸Deb Davie finds endless inspiration in flowers. Surrounded by them throughout her life — from gardening and embroidery to helping her florist daughter with wedding arrangements — she now captures their beauty in acrylic on canvas.

Her vibrant paintings, especially of hydrangeas, celebrate colour, texture and the pleasure she finds in painting flowers.

We are really looking forward to seeing these pop in person.
