Otago Girls' High School's senior art pupils have installed the school's first art exhibition, "Portfolio", in the Dunedin Community Gallery.
The central location of the gallery exposed the pupils' work to a large public audience, OGHS head of art Cat Robson said yesterday.
"It's the first time we've had it at the community gallery and it's going really well," she said.
"They [the pupils] can't believe it, because they're selling work and making money."
The school kapa haka group and combined OGHS and OBHS jazz band performed before an audience of more than 200 people at the exhibition opening on Monday night.
The school taonga, or treasure, of a chambered nautilus is also on display in the gallery to "bless and protect" the pupils and their work.
The nautilus is believed to date back to the foundation of the school in 1871.
"Portfolio" is on until May 26.
