Love art and buy
We are a self-funding Incorporated Society dedicated to the visual arts. We aim to benefit the community of New Zealand through the promotion, creation, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts. Regular exhibitions featuring new work from established and emerging artists from throughout New Zealand are held in the Academy's architectural award-winning galleries.
The Academy receives no funding from central or local government. It is entirely reliant on the support of individuals, whether of its members and supporting friends or the art-loving public purchasing exhibited artworks. As well as a programme of ever-changing and exciting exhibitions of contemporary New Zealand visual arts in all styles and media, the Gallery Shop offers unique, beautiful and quirky gifts or indulgences.
To continue our mission we welcome support from our artists, supporters, active contributors and partners wishing to support our exhibitions and awards aimed at promoting and fostering the visual arts of Aotearoa New Zealand for our next century.
