HANGING'S ART GROUP COLLECTION The Hangings Art Group was formed in 1993 with the sole objective to purchase artworks from the current Frances Hodgkins Fellowship, preferably from the year they were the Fellow. The Frances Hodgkins Fellowship was established in 1962, and is now one of New Zealand's premier arts residencies. The position is based at the University of Otago in Dunedin, and is awarded annually. The fellowship was created to encourage painters and sculptors in the practice and advancement of their art, to associate them with life in the University, and at the same time to foster an interest in the arts within the University. The Frances Hodgkins Fellowship is named after painter Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) who was born in Dunedin
