A pilot scheme helped Canterbury secondary school art students build their confidence by getting their work into a gallery - and sold. Now it's being rolled out to the next generation of Te Whanganui-A-Tara Wellington and Tamaki Makaurau Auckland artists. Charlotte Sherratt and Sophie Paterson set up Artstart - formerly known as The Creators' Room - in 2017. Now students are invited to send in their work, and a panel of judges chooses a hundred to be framed and exhibited. Money from any sales goes back to the young artist and so far that's come to around of $375,000 in Canterbury alone. To find out more Lynn Freeman talks to Ella Ward who's one of Artstart's many success stories, and to its co-founder Sophie Paterson.
