Fulbright New Zealand 65th anniversary art auction

Fulbright New Zealand, the provider of scholarships for educational and cultural exchange between New Zealand and the United States of America, celebrates its 65th anniversary in September with a number of activities including an online art auction. Visual artist alumni and supporters are generously donating the proceeds from the sale of their artworks to the Fulbright New Zealand Trust endowment fund, which will provide for additional awards in future.

There are 21 of New Zealand’s top artists and a total of 28 artworks in this special auction, ranging from paintings and prints to ceramics and glass. Artists include Fulbright alumni Laurence Aberhart, Julian Dashper, Kerry Ann Lee, Darcy Nicholas, Manos Nathan and Raewyn Turner, and non-alumni Robyn Kahukiwa and Albert Wendt, to name a few. Online bids will be accepted for all artworks at www.fulbright.org.nz/events/artauction, with some earmarked for sale at gala dinners in Auckland and Wellington during the anniversary month.
