The 41st annual Darfield Artweek was officially opened on Friday, October 7th, by Nicola Grigg, MP for Selwyn. Contributing artists, sponsors and guests celebrated the opening of the annual community art exhibition, which saw the first viewing of 375 artworks by 160 artists. The Malvern Community Arts Council (MCAC) Premier Award went to Vicki Knudsen (Darfield) for her painting ‘All Said & Done’. Dorle Pauli, Artweek’s Judge for 2022, commented, “The medium is used to great effect to express the stillness, timeless dignity and perhaps mournfulness of a scene which is often overlooked in our busy, everyday lives.” The Friends of MCAC Award went to Jo Loughnan (Christchurch) for her fresh and informal mixed media work, ‘Waves’. The compelling, highly engaging and sophisticated ‘Red Thread’ by Annika Maenpaa, was awarded the Buddle Findlay Award. ‘The Estuary’ by Margaret White (Rolleston) received the RJ Crouch Award, for its beautiful execution, celebrating the more intimate, peaceful and lesser-known locations of New Zealand. The Gordon Harris Award went to Gray Leanard (Prebbleton) for his complete set of miniatures, for their assured composition and experimental play on shape and colour. The Youth Category, in its second year, attracted many entries. The Bob Gillard Youth Award went to Ainsley Worling (Ashburton) for ‘Stagnant’. Dorle Pauli commented, “An informal, modest but

Admission is free, allowing everyone to visit and appreciate the breadth of artistic talent within our community.
