Presented by Perpetual Guardian in association with Postage Stamp Wines and the Waiheke Community Art Gallery, the Small Sculpture Prize is a national award for an original free standing or wall sculpture up to 800mm in any direction. The Premiere prize is $5,000, and a Benefactor's Merit Prize of $2,000 and a People's Choice Award of $1500.
The Exhibition takes place 9 May - 8 June.

A collaboration with island-based creatives, Understory sheds light on Waiheke’s transformation from a once-barren landscape of sheep farms to the locus of conservation action. The interactive exhibition celebrates decades of dedication by conservation visionaries, practitioners and volunteers through sculpture, printmaking, painting, nature journals, photography and sound. Next to the main gallery, the Understory Regeneration Zone is designed for people to “have a go” at creating nature-inspired works on paper.

This series of prints creating a visual narrative of the crucifixion story. The work is inspired by the overarching idea of Jesus as a common man who lives amongst his people who were earthy, chaotic and angrily rebellious under the dominion of the Roman Empire.

Exploration. Inspiration. Creative Play.
