The Breakfast opening
Signs are that Saturday morning openings are on the up, with breakfast starting to push wine and cheese off the menu, as the savvy art opening offering. A recent breakfast opening at Wellington’s Adam Art Gallery offered juice, croissants, fruit and coffee, and now a breakfast opening is promised for the Julian Dashper exhibition at the Christchurch Art Gallery on Saturday morning 11 August. We welcome any thoughts on art lifestyle trends for this new overthenet feature. Insights into topics such as curator shoes, gallerist restaurant preferences, wall colour tones and invitation design styles will be rewarded.
