OUR PROGRAMME
SUPPORTING ARTISTS AT PIVOTAL POINTS IN THEIR CAREERS
Embracing McCahon’s legacy as a gifted teacher, our programme has been designed around the concept of supporting artists at pivotal points in their careers. Including our bespoke education resources, career-defining Parehuia residency, celebrating artists through our events and commissioned essays, and most recently our international engagement.

Through public and private partnerships, we enable artists to focus solely on their practice; research, experiment and explore new ideas. Bespoke support is provided along with opportunities to build a community of supporters that stay with them throughout their career.
Our international partnerships offer artists the opportunity to engage with different cultures and contexts. As it did for McCahon, these experiences can have significant impact on an artist’s practice, as well as the opening up of networks, dialogue and audiences.
Our reach has expanded exponentially, and we believe that continuing to use our extensive experience will help develop and advance contemporary arts practice and build resilience and professionalism right across the visual arts sector of Aotearoa.
