Helen Calder, Samuel Craig, Lynton Denovan, Aaron Eastwick, Sam Eng, Scott Flanagan, Emma Fitts, Emily Gardener, Jacquelyn Greenbank, Coral Harnett, Julia Holderness, Robert Hood, Paul Johns, Jayne Joyce, Joanna Langford, Simon Lawrence, Emma Mettrick, Amanda Newall, Clare Noonan, James Oram, Miranda Parkes, Oli Perkins, Jamie Richardson, Ben Shoal, Zina Swanson, and Ri Williamson

The final show in a series of exhibitions between Enjoy, High Street Project and the Blue Oyster. Each gallery arranged and curated an exhibition that they felt best represented what was important to them, their history and contribution to the regions and communities they/we serve. When HSP took their exhibition to Enjoy, it was then toured to Darren Knight Gallery in Sydney.

In a salon style, Mr and Mrs Pink’s Fabulous Collection:

"Is being toured by HSP and is the result of fastidious quick buck collection over the last two years. With resourcefulness and cunning these two shrewd collectors have picked a lip-smacking sample of all that is good about fresh, experimental and emerging contemporary art in Christchurch."

During this exhibition the Blue Oyster also partook in Regan Gentry's Foot in the Door, a project engaging in the politics involved in becoming an established artist.
