The Arts Centre Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
This gorgeous Gothic building used to be the former site of Canterbury College. After the University of Canterbury was relocated in 1974, the building was turned into an arts center. The entire building is large in scale and distinctive in style. The walls are made of beautiful patterns made of stones, which is impressive. 1. Experience life with artists There are many artist workshops in the Art Center, where you can see artists at work, as well as many unique craft shops, restaurants and cafes with elegant atmosphere. However, unfortunately, the Art Center was damaged by the earthquake in 2011 and has not yet been repaired, so you can only see it from the outside. 2. In the art market on weekends, you can find high-quality and low-cost special handicrafts. If you come here on weekends, there will be wonderful markets around the art center. There are many stalls selling all kinds of unique handicrafts, whether they are made in New Zealand. Kauri wood crafts, intricately crafted jade necklaces or brightly coloured pottery are artistic and affordable.

The Christchurch Art Center is not big. There is a small square in front of it. Someone performs acrobatics there. Many foreigners sit there and watch it. It is very lively. But I looked at it, the quality of acrobatics is actually very poor, not very good-looking. Foreigners are still very happy to see. Maybe the locals are too boring, so enjoy the sun there. The art center is basically free anyway.
Christchurch Arts Centre is a classic Gothic building and the site of the University of Canterbury. As soon as I entered the door, a row of tables and chairs and lampposts hanging upside down on the ceiling attracted my attention. This lamppost reminded me of Star Wars. Love the yellow theme exhibition area, the name is how to leave the lunar surface.
High cost performance project, free visit. Good place for couples dating.
High cost performance, free visit. A good place for literary youth.
Great in all aspects, a very good value for money place.
In the heart of Christchurch, people interested in art can visit.
