Cash & Carry Exhibition

Cash and Carry Entry

Our Annual Cash and Carry Exhibition is a showcase of beautiful watercolour paintings across a wide range of subjects, created by the talented artists in our society.

A Cash and Carry is an exhibition where artworks are for immediate sale . Prices are displayed, purchases are made on the spot, and buyers can take their paintings home the same day — a great chance to find original art at accessible prices and support local artists.

Artiteq picture hanging system                              https://www.artiteq.co.nz

Estuary Arts Centre uses the Artiteq picture hanging system. They use the Artiteq Ratchet and Loquer hooks. This means that the work is stable and secure and will not move during the exhibition.

They require all framed artwork to have D-rings on the back and a swing tag
