Rainbow Connection : Dunedin Fringe Festival

Rainbow Connection

Ōtākou | Otago

An exhibition awash in rainbow colours. Come and see how artists respond to rainbow visions of connection, sharing personal experience and imagination.

Ōtākou | Otago



The whole family can enjoy this art experience, showing at the Otago Art Society’s galleries located upstairs in the Dunedin Railway Station. From Thursday 16 March to Saturday 1 April, the galleries will be displaying an exhibition awash in rainbow colours, proudly sponsored by Resene.


Come and admire how creative local artists respond to our theme, ‘rainbow connection’.  The rainbow’s symbolism has various meanings: hope, good fortune, positivity, inclusivity and diversity; an all-embracing message of love and friendship.  Bask in the varied interpretations and delight in the imagination on display. Art is amazing – it forms invisible connections between artist and audience.

Art mediums on display will be as diverse as the theme: painting, sculpture, jewellery, textiles, ceramics and more. Which work will strike a chord with you?  Don’t forget to vote for your favourite whilst visiting. Visitors can also immerse themselves in a dedicated ‘rainbow room’ bursting with colour from head to toe, providing for great Insta-worthy photo opportunities! 


Saturday 18 March from 9.30am-12.00pm will be a dedicated morning of family fun. Keep the kids and ‘kids at heart’ entertained with rainbow-themed crafts including stone‑painting, a treasure hunt and - for those with an eagle eye - detail detective.  There’ll be prizes too, including spot prizes for those dressed in theme!
 
As March is Dunedin Pride Month, we will also be gratefully receiving monetary donations on behalf of our friends at Dunedin Pride, which is a local volunteer-run organisation connecting and supporting Dunedin’s rainbow community.


Follow the Rainbow - you’ll be glad you did!
