Aqua Marine
21 Nov 2009  - 06 Dec 2009

Aqua Marine
The Suter summer showcase exhibition is about all things maritime, since Tasman and Golden Bays with their golden beaches, sparkling estuaries and scenic coastlines really are top of mind when people think of this region during the warmer months.

The word aquamarine is derived from the Latin words aqua marina meaning sea water. It is a name for a green-blue colour and for a transparent gemstone, a form of beryl that is blue or turquoise. In ancient gemstone lore, aquamarine is said to be the sailors’ lucky stone and if carried, would ensure a safe voyage and return home.

The exhibition has been selected from The Suter’s collection, supplemented with art works from the World of Wearable Art, private lenders and artists.
