Be sure to check out the dreamy works on display from the RVCA National drawing awards. Currently residing at ARTSPACE, Auckland, the collection will be on display until the 20th of December. And if your not in the area there's no reason to cry yourself to sleep, the exhibition will be touring around the country (dates below).
With an open call for entries there's a total of 365 works on display, an eclectic mix with something for everyone.

John Ward Knox’s drawing entitled ‘myrrh’, was selected as the winner by judges by former ARTSPACE Director Brian Butler, Director of The Physics Room,
Kate Montgomery and Curator and Manager of Enjoy Public Art Gallery, Siv B.
Fjærestad.

The winning drawing was one that all three selectors kept returning to: “It
called us back, we were haunted by its narrative qualities, its sense of
cinematic nostalgia. Like a fragment of time, it was rich with
associations.”

The People’s Choice Award, which will be announced on 7 February 2009 at The
Physics Room, offers a chance for visitors to the exhibition to have an
active role in judging part of the competition by popular vote.
