A Friends membership is for those who want to connect with fellow creative thinkers and dive deeply into their art experiences, while becoming an active part of our city’s vibrant visual art scene.
Keep up to date with news, upcoming exhibitions and Friends exclusive benefits and events.
Our patrons power bold art. Since 2017, their support has brought major projects to life in the Craigs Investment Partners Gallery. Past commissions include works by Sara Hughes, Darcell Apelu, and now Kereama Taepa.
Patrons receive all of the benefits of a Friends Membership, including online and exhibition recognition, a gift, the opportunity to meet the artist and an exclusive talk. Patronages are open to individuals, couples, families or businesses.
