On 4 May 2024, the Fo Guang Yuan Art Gallery unveiled the Journeying Further Joint Exhibition. Following the success of the Resurgence Exhibition, FGY Art Gallery once again collaborated with local artists to offer their artistic creations for public viewing. Nearly 30 artists and Friends of FGY attended the opening ceremony.
The Journeying Further Joint Exhibition primarily showcases contemporary New Zealand art to enhance the public’s appreciation of artworks through the diversity of exhibited items. The exhibition features 10 artists with nearly 160 pieces of artwork, including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics. Through their unique creations, these artists present to the public their thinking and breakthroughs at various stages of their lives.
Hugh Rickard conducted the opening ceremony. He expressed his gratitude for the friendly and professional service rendered by FGY Art Gallery and the Team. He acknowledged that besides the beautiful venue, the continuous support from the Gallery serves as a driving force for the artists to advance further. All the participating artists highly value the opportunity to exhibit their works at FGY Art Gallery. Ceramic artists Jane McCulla and Penny De Jong expressed their honour to share their creative concepts with art enthusiasts at the art gallery. They felt privileged to interact with the community through their work.
Visitors were amazed by each piece of artwork and the artist’s creativity. The emulsification of the creativities of the 10 artists brings surprises and inspiration to the public who visit the exhibition, and forms a new page in the propagation of Humanistic Buddhism via Art.
