Art for Kids Mid-Winter Fundraiser

Join us for an evening of jazz, whisky and delicious food in the warmth and creative comforts of the Tauranga Art Gallery; all in the aid of the ArtBus.

Start your mid-winter evening with a glass of bubbles on arrival, followed by live entertainment from an award-winning jazz combo.

Following this, the Pernod Ricard Whisky Ambassador will lead you through an exploration of the Glenlivet range including a tasting of The Glenlivet Single Cask Edition, a whisky bottled exclusively for New Zealand with only 204 bottles ever produced! The tasting will be perfectly accompanied by delicous food to complement the whisky.

End the evening with a private tour of the new virtual reality exhibition, 'Terminus', by Jess Johnson & Simon Ward. Hear about their artistic journey and experience their universe after-hours, away from the day crowds.

This is an exclusive event with limited tickets available and 100% of the ticket price is donated to Art for Kids.

What is Art for Kids?
Each year over 9,500 local children travel to the Tauranga Art Gallery where they experience a NZ curriculum art programme and create their own artwork. These visits are the beginning of a life-long connection with the arts. They help foster a child’s creative mind and to apply critical, innovative, and reflective thinking to all areas of their life.

Each child comes to the gallery on a free ArtBus. This service makes it affordable for schools to engage in the art programmes developed by the gallery.

We need your help to keep this bus service free for schools!
