From Ron Mueck’s chicken / man to Michael Parekōwhai’s Chapman’s Homer, some of the Gallery’s most treasured works are here thanks to the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū Foundation.

The Foundation exists to power the big ideas: building a collection for future generations, supporting ambitious new projects, and keeping creativity at the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Whether you want to make a one-off gift, leave a legacy through a bequest, or become part of our TOGETHER membership programme, there are many ways to stand behind the art that defines our city.
