Friends of the NZ Art Show

JOIN US AS A FRIEND OF THE NZ ART SHOW

Our members’ contributions help sustain the event and promote New Zealand artists. Managed by a Charitable Trust, this award-winning, iconic event donates all profits back to the arts community. Over the years, the NZ Art Show has supported more than 3,500 New Zealand artists, facilitated over $200,000 in art awards, and sold more than 30,000 artworks. Our Friends have been a vital part of this journey.

Join us in 2025 for another remarkable showcase of creativity, talent, and inspiration.
