An exciting new change to the Art Awards this year is we will be exhibiting all artist entries in our pop up gallery in Wellington. This means everybody has an opportunity to sell their artwork in the gallery and should your artwork not sell in the gallery, we will list this for you on Trademe. You will receive 100% of the sale proceeds.
We aren’t having a Top 100 this year and instead, the judges will select the 30 finalists including the first, second, third and the Youth Award winners from all the entries received.
This does mean, you will be required to forward your artwork to National Office. We will be in touch with all you to let you know when you need to have this to us by.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us at ihc.events@ihc.org.nz
