Inaugural Art Show raises $10,000 for Child Cancer Foundation

Term 4’s Art Exhibition and Sale at Saint Kentigern College brought together a diverse range of artistic talent from across New Zealand, all in support of the Child Cancer Foundation. Featuring 95 artists and over 250 artworks, the exhibition displayed an impressive variety of pieces, including paintings, photographs, sculptures, printmaking, mixed media works, and textiles. Among the contributing artists, 17 were proud alumni of Saint Kentigern College, highlighting the strong connection between the school and its creative community.

The opening night set a beautiful tone with live music, an inviting atmosphere, and an array of delicious food and drinks. Guests enjoyed mingling and had the opportunity to meet the artists, gaining insight into their inspirations and artistic processes. The event continued over the weekend, offering a relaxed setting for families and art enthusiasts alike. Coffee, cakes, and ice cream from the generous sponsor Little Island, added to the experience as visitors browsed the artworks, with prices ranging from $100 to just under $10,000. 

Thanks to the generosity of the artists, sponsors, and attendees, the exhibition raised $10,000 for the Child Cancer Foundation. It was a meaningful event that not only showcased exceptional artistic talent but also made a positive impact in the community. An event that left attendees looking forward to the next opportunity to experience the exceptional art and support an important charity.
