As a member of our Friends Programme, you gain access to exclusive benefits, including our signature Gala Evening. This exciting event is not just an art party; it’s a vibrant celebration of creativity where you can network and have a blast with kindred spirits who share your passion for art and culture. It’s a night of unforgettable experiences that brings art aficionados together in a joyful and inspiring atmosphere.
In exciting news, the NZ Art Show was recently honored with the Vibrant Gold award at the Wellington Gold Awards. This recognition is particularly meaningful, as it was received in the presence of Wellington’s brightest minds and most successful businesses. This achievement not only reflects positively on the NZ Art Show but also on the entire NZ Artist community.
