A collection of opportunities

Bill Culbert's BeBop was purchased wih funds raised by Foundation Partners.

The Christchurch Art Gallery Foundation is still on a mission: to build a collection of great art that Christchurch is proud of.

A collection of opportunities. Art that tells stories and honours the past, that reveals the present and compels us to imagine and debate the future. This regenerating city has multiple and complex priorities so we want to partner with people and families who can help protect our core business – collecting.

The new Christchurch will be a city of opportunity and renewal; we have the chance to shape its culture and we’d like you to help us. We have all benefited from past gifts to Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū. Now it’s your chance to speak to the future and make wise investments for those who come after us. Help us to tell the Christchurch story with art – our past, our current transition and the re-imagination of our future.

Christchurch Art Gallery Foundation

I jumped at the opportunity to join the Foundation in October 2014 when I heard about the plan to purchase five great works. The Gallery has fantastic vision and is in great hands right now. One of my favourite artworks in Christchurch is Martin Creed’s Work No. 2314 which tells us everything is going to be alright. I like the simple message in dazzling lights. For me it symbolises the pretence I showed, for the sake of my kids, that the earthquakes were nothing to worry about. I have my parents to thank for surrounding me with good New Zealand art and making it part of the everyday conversation – the disagreements were part of the fun.

Fundraising Dinners

In 2013 the Foundation held the first annual fundraising dinner to help reconnect with the visual arts community while the Gallery remained closed for repairs. As well as introducing the Gallery to new friends, each dinner has raised close to $100,000 towards a key work of art for Christchurch. Our fifth dinner will be held on 30 September 2017.
