Bold, contemporary and oh so fresh!

The NZ Art Show is back … over 150 artists carefully curated and selected to represent the best of NZ art.  Today we introduce you to our new look for 2021; our artists are the heroes and we stand proudly behind them.  

A huge thank you to Janelle Rodrigues from Creature for our new campaign – a creative genius who we are so excited to be working with.  Keep an eye out for the campaign as it rolls out across billboards, postcards, digital and more.
