Members Art Swap 2010

Every year we have an art swap where our members donate an artwork (or 2) and receive an artwork (or 2) in return.

This years entries are displayed below.

INFO FOR ART SWAP PARTICIPANTS:

Please email a list of a minimum of your top 5 artworks in order of preference to Tanya tanya@nzartguild.co.nz by 5pm Sunday 3rd October. Members who do not submit their choices will be assigned an artwork. As some artists have more than one entry please use the code listed below the artwork to identify which artwork you are chosing.

We do endeavour to get as many artists their top choices as we can however it is not always possible to get everyone their top choices - especially if there are 2 or 3 artworks that everyone wants.

All decisions will be made by the organiser and are final.
