Carmel College PTFA hosted its annual ArtFusions exhibition gala opening night on Friday September 20th at the school in Milford. The ArtFusions exhibition has been a regular event since 1997, showcasing New Zealand artworks from established and emerging artists, all of which were for sale. Elaborate specialised lighting showcased the outdoor sculptures and transformed the gymnasium into a professional gallery. The entranceway was stunning, with  trees provided by Takana Nurseries while Pack &and Send shipped in many of the artworks from around the country. The festive evening was enjoyed by hundreds and featured sumptuous grazing platters and Babich wines. Carmel students provided entertainment, playing instruments and singing, while art students fashioned peg dolls that were for sale from the café. Guests enjoyed a delicious high tea on Saturday and were entertained by the Garden of Eden Fashion Show while the exhibition continued through until Sunday.
