I mention this because while listening to Don McGlashan in Civic Square the other day he mentioned that Auckland doesn't really have any civic art. I'm not sure that's entirely true... But, in the spirit of parochial one-upmanship I thought I'd bring you some of Wellington's oft-overlooked art and sculpture. sculpture civic-square art places blogs featured Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/these-are-the-fixtures-of-your-neighbourhood The Wellingtonista 2008-01-13T00:00:00Z -41.2886381 174.7770472723911 Te Ngākau Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellingtonista.com/bill-hammond-city-gallery Assuming you've made the right decision (and are having your hols in February), then we here at the Wellingtonista advise you to get yourself along to the City Gallery for the FREE Bill Hammond exhibition, Jingle Jangle Morning.

Deborah's prints are dark and intriguing, with overtones of childhood mysteries. And now for the good news. As a young artist Deborah's work is surprisingly reasonably priced...
