Dear Abbess,

Thank you and your team for truly exceptional work and continuing to bring light and hope to the community, especially when the world is overshadowed by the pandemic.

Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery Auckland online exhibitions feature an eclectic mix of art. The visual novelty included employing 2D and 3D halls, sharply different conventions of perspectives. It offers the online visitors the unique opportunity to experience the atmosphere and engage deeply with art, along with the brilliant quality and compelling nature of the masterpieces. It conceived the world in a new light, not just giving the visitors great aesthetic pleasure.

This core collection is offering a unique and fresh perspective on the country’s most beloved artists, diverse in style, colorful and experimental, all the works of art show the creators’ passionate commitment to the new. I believe visitors to online Art Salon from the temple will leave the exhibition filled with vivid memories of these wonderful masterpieces produced by both established and emerging New Zealand artists.

Dear Venerable Abbess Manshin,

Please accept my congratulations and pass them on to all of your team for the amazing standard of the website for the 2021 art exhibition.

It far exceeds anything I would have expected to see, or any other that I remember seeing anywhere before. The sheer degree of professionalism is astounding in all aspects. Layout organisation, design, detail and clarity have quite clearly taken an enormous amount of hard work and skill to achieve that standard. And I am guessing doubly so during these difficult times.

To achieve such this your team must consist of some very talented and dedicated people. I hope their efforts result in much success for them. As one of the exhibiting artists I feel we owe them our thanks for treating our works with such care and skill.
