Sponsorships

Northland Rescue Helicopter (NEST) a major sponsor since 2006

CollaboratioNZ 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011.
CollaboratioNZ 2011 was a huge success with outstanding art and over $60,000 raised which will be used as seed money for CollaboratioNZ 2013. One of the reasons the pieces were so magnificent (if you listen to the rumours) was that due to bad weather everyone spent 100% of their time on work – not looking at the great views or spending time swimming or in the sun or other non art activities!
