Join the Friends for a viewing of an exhibition, a tour of Kate Sheppard House and morning tea.

The exhibition Tribute: Portraits from the collection of Avenal McKinnon is a special collection of portraits by leading New Zealand artists. The portraits are drawn from the collection of the late Avenal McKinnon (née Gough), the long-time Director of the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata, art historian, writer, and curator. The collection showcases a selection of 22 paintings from Avenal’s collection by a range of artists including Rudi Gopas, Rita Angus, Frances Hodgkins, Leo Bensemann, Wayne Youle and Séraphine Pick. Wayne Youle will join us to talk about the portrait he painted of Avenal that will be on display.

After viewing the exhibition we will have a tour of the Kate Sheppard House followed by morning tea.
