Feel free to come along in the Virtual World, details below:SUPA CUBA DUPA OPENING POSTPONEDThe news shouldn't surprise you but we feel it is best practice to follow the lead and postpone all future opening night attendances - for the meantime and until we are given the all clear to re-open. In saying that, we are committed to our artist obligations, and of course, to you, meaning we will be launching the Supa Cuba Dupa Exhibition online at 4.00pm this coming Saturday, 28th March, NZ Time. The platform for this will be primarily:
- a number short 10 second videos of the artwork
- online catalogue with panoramic 360 angles
- close up photos/descriptions
- for those of you with VR headsets, we will be offering an interactive experience that is ahead of its game.
We encourage you in the next few days to visit our Website, Facebook and Instagram for more information regarding your online Supa Cuba Cuba experience. But in the meantime, we wish you the very best, thank you immensely for your continued support, and look forward to seeing you again...in due course.Kind regards, Dylan and Aingie - Hey @Pip Jamieson, we're looking to pair industry mentors up with students whose final year studies have been majorly disrupted.
