Art Do 2018
In October 2018, the first ever Art Do brought together world-leading chefs, designers and rockstar artists to create New Zealand's biggest art party.
It was an immersive night of experiences, all in the name of celebrating great art in Christchurch.
Think contemporary food stands created by the coolest international and local chefs – including Jake Kellie from Singapore’s Burnt Ends; a bar styled by Karen Walker featuring her signature cocktail; artists spinning vinyls that made us dance; architecturally designed party spaces designed by the Warren and Mahoney team; and the launch of our new art beer and an art wine by New Zealand artists Zina Swanson and Judy Millar.
Director's Foreword
Director’s Foreword
Welcome to the spring edition of Bulletin. Our downstairs touring exhibition galleries are currently alive with video and moving image art, all of it produced by Māori practitioners in the last thirty years. This exhibition, which tours to us from the Dowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt, looks to capture and collate the contribution of Māori artists to time-based art practice in this country.
Notes
Greystone Wines x Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū Art Wine
New Zealand art legends Gretchen Albrecht and Shane Cotton have collaborated with Greystone Wines to produce forty-eight magnums of their award-winning 2017 Pinot Noir. Each bottle comes in a handmade (and signed!) box so you can choose to save it or swill it.

Art Do 19: Everything you need to know
DATE CHANGE. It appears you lot don't want to be split up – you want to be TOGETHER! So we're now combining both Art Do Dinner and Art Do Party into one mega event on Saturday 27 July. If you've got dinner tickets, you'll be upstairs in an intimate gallery, five-course dinner, and one-of-a-kind Gallery dining experience. And if you're not doing the Dinner, you'll be downstairs, living large at the Party, enjoying a roving best-of-canterbury menu. Both cuisine experiences will be catered by Tom Hishon and White Tie Catering. And later, we'll all come together to celebrate our Gallery and raise the roof on art and creativity in Aotearoa.
Prepare yourself for a night of immersive art experiences, fuelled by visionary foodies and decadent drinks. This year we’re collaborating with some of the biggest names in New Zealand art to bring you two spectacular celebrations – all in the name of supporting creativity in Ōtautahi.
Without further aDO, here’s everything you can expect at Art Do.
