ARTSPACE
Aiming to inspire
Auckland’s ARTSPACE aims to challenge, inspire and educate the makers and readers of contemporary culture by producing, exhibiting and communicating contemporary art in an environment that encourages risk-taking and fosters experimentation.
Ida Moberg admires a sculpture by Wellington’s Martin Basher.
Its innovative, world-class exhibition programme, run from its building on Karangahape Road, puts its at the cutting edge of contemporary art, from where it intends to reach out to a wider audience, increase the participation and engage Aucklanders in the contemporary art scene.
Creative New Zealand provides ARTSPACE’s core funding, but the Trust this year approved a $50,000 operating costs grant that will allow Communications Manager Ida Moberg to build the organisation’s public profile through publications, its website and media relations.
