Untitled: Creative Futures Art Conference

‘Finding inspiration and staying motivated’ was the focus for this year’s annual art conference held at the Palmerston North Convention Centre yesterday. With 250 senior Painting, Photography and Design students from 18 schools from around the region in attendance, the venue was a sea of creativity. Guest speakers included stencil artist Flox, wedding photographer Jason Naylor, portrait painter Sofia Minson and 3D modelling expert Barry McGoldrick. The 31 Palmerston North Boys’ High School students in attendance were treated to a diverse range of artistic approaches and inspirational stories throughout their chosen workshops in the afternoon. The boys left the art conference with a greater understanding of artistic career possibilities and a wealth of inspiration for the term ahead.
