Millers Acre and "Vessel"


Millers Acre Centre - Taha o te Awa (Nelson Visitor Centre) was selected as the winner of New Zealand Creative Places Award 2006's Built Environment: City and Regional Councils category in July. The cost of the sculpture, "Vessel", designed by local jeweler and sculptor Gavin Hitchings, caused much heated discussion in the Nelson Mail for a couple of days. More about entering Nelson.

Thank you. Yes, we like the sculpture, but we may be biased because we know the designer, and he's a very gentle soul. But if the town's most serious concern is whether a piece of sculpture is appropriate or not, well, it's not a bad town to live in, I guess.
