Real excited to see East Auckland nostalgia through the works of the bro Elliot Francis Stewart 🤓.

Malcolm Smith Gallery and AUAT invites the third and final artist, Elliot Francis Stewart to EAST. More recognizably known as a central local, Elliot is set to return to his original stomping ground of East Auckland to exhibit all new works, a first in his urban contemporary art career. Thank you to our sponsor Resene 🎨!

Love it when artists take the journey back to their roots and use art as a vehicle to connect their 2 worlds. It’s just sooo nice. ✨
