In a gesture of outstanding arts philanthropy, $30,000 in awards, spanning three categories, will be granted to artists at this year’s NZ Art Show, highlighting the show’s ongoing dedication to backing the arts community.
Carla Russell, the Executive Director of

lovers.
‘The NZ Art Show operates under a charitable
trust, and we take pride in supporting thousands of artists
over the show’s 21 history,’ says Russell. ‘With the
added support of our awards’ sponsors, the NZ Art Show
community is well-positioned as a leader in arts
philanthropy. Since its inception, the NZ Art Show has
contributed over $200,000 to New Zealand artists. We are
truly grateful to the generosity of our supporters, who help
us sustain the arts in Aotearoa.'
