The annual Art Salon at the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple in Flat Bush was formally opened at the weekend.
Blessed by the Venerable Abbess Manshin, curator of Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery New Zealand, dozens of guests were treated to more than 500 art works from 100 artists featured – and on sale – in an exhibition which runs until November 26.
Among the people on hand for the occasion were Howick Local Board chairperson Damian Light, former board chair and current member Adele White, numerous artists who have work on display at the salon, and Counties Manukau East Police area commander, Inspector Rodney Honan.
Guests were treated to lunch after the exhibition opening.
