William Sutton house announcement
Today is a special day for the city and for the future of the Otakaro Avon River Corridor. I used to live just around the corner from here when I was an MP and drove down here most days. So pleased that the history of this place will be preserved and the story that it captures will remain forever embedded in the landscape. As the local ward councillor at the time Yani Johanson has advocated strongly for the former Christchurch home and studio of Bill Sutton, one of New Zealand’s most celebrated modern artists, to be gifted to the city. |
