Ten Free Auckland Exhibitions Worth Checking Out This December
It's the perfect season for gallery hopping.
The festive season is upon us and this month there's a range of art events to get you into the Christmas spirit. With galleries shutting down over the holiday period, be sure to make the most of these first few weeks of December and cram in as much art viewing as possible. There's no better downtime from the staff parties and awkward family gatherings than hanging out in an air-conditioned gallery for a wee while, escaping the madness.
