The Rinitawa Art Gallery is now officially open and it is hosting the Woodville Art and History’s seventh art exhibition.

It was blessed at a dawn gathering on June 24 and formally opened by Mayor Tracey Collis at 6.30pm before invited guests.

It all begins with an idea.

Dannevirke Art Collective hosted a very successful opening to its annual Art Exhibition at Rinitawa Galleries in Woodville.

The former Dannevirke Art Society has recently morphed into an Art Collective in which members are free to participate but without the hassles of running a registered club with all its regulations.
