On behalf of the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic I am happy to report that studio making is going well at the mid-year mark in 2010. Senior students are on track for SITE10, our end-of-year graduate show in November. The weekly seminar series are well attended and many other activities are adding value to our programmes and students’ experience of a rich and interesting arts life on campus and in the city of Dunedin. We look forward to applications for 2011 as every single student who becomes part of our community adds value to our understanding of what the visual arts can say about our world. Each of our studio areas contribute to the mix and students can choose where they feel most interested and challenged. I would like to thank all staff and students who are making the Dunedin School of Art an extra special place to be.
