While sampling delicious food and Giesen Wines over 120 quests enjoyed the buzz of the evening and the potential to take home an artwork should their name be pulled out of one of the gold boxes, positioned beside each entry. The generosity of over thirty New Zealand artists - painters, print makers, photographers, sculptors and ceramicists – to contribute work and the potential for quests to take home a gem keeps this events firmly on the calendar of collectors and art lovers alike.

A big thankyou to the gallery staff who assisted with the installation of the artworks - Sean, Scott and Simon.
