2-14 November 2010

NZ Sculpture OnShore will be returning to the dramatic cliff-top site of Fort Takapuna on Auckland's North Shore for our ninth exhibition. This iconic event features installations by over 100 New Zealand artists and has the reputation of being a fantastic way to spend the day absorbing the views of the artwork and the Hauraki Gulf. Youth programmes,guided tours, refreshments and live music complement the quality of the sculptures and add to the visitors' enjoyment.

Submitting works

NZ Sculpture OnShore 2010 will feature new works by many of New Zealand's established artists alongside works by emerging artists. We are looking for artworks in a range of sizes and media to reflect the wide diversity of contemporary sculptural practice. It is essential for all artworks to be robust and to be suitable for display outdoors. There is no entry fee.

The deadline for proposals has passed and submitting artists have been informed of the curator's selection. If you wish to discuss a late entry, contact Rob Garrett directly on curator@nzsculptureonshore.co.nz.

Inaugural Art Affair

Renowned New Zealand artist Chris Booth was the featured guest on the night and, in his delightful personal style, shared his experiences and processes into two of his major international installations: Echo van de Veluwe, Netherlands, and Subterranean Living Sculpture, the Eden Project, Cornwall, UK). This event coincided with the Belgian government's memorable installation at Fort Takapuna, "Passchendaele: The Belgians Have Not Forgotten".
