Auckland Art Gallery Foundation exists to support Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki the leading art gallery of Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific. We are building an endowment fund that provides a consistent source of funding to Auckland Art Gallery now and into the future.
‘Art tells the stories of who we are and who we aspire to be. By growing the Foundation’s endowment fund, we’re ensuring Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki will remain a place of inspiration, discovery, and pride for generations to come.’
Glenn Hawkins, Foundation Chair
