 | | Congratulations to David Teata and Steven Gwaliasi who gained 3rd placings for their categories at the World Art Market for contemporary ethnic art at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver last Saturday. Well done Chris Delany, our representative who took the works there. More details in the next newsletter. | |  | Our team in Auckland, Wellington and Vancouver has been busy selling art.
Sales have been wonderful for Nestor Opetaia of Wellington whose Same Cheese work will be on the TV series Shortland St in Dr Maxwell Avia's office on October 11th. Other works have gone to Australia and West Auckland. In Wellington at the PNG Independence Celebrations hosted by High Commissioner William Dihm, a fabulous exhibition curated by Sue Smales attracted several buyers for Leonard Tebegetu and Philemon Yalamu. A auction in Moscow that includes Solomon Islands' work that toured several cities in Russia is being held soon. Nestor Opetaia
