Auckland Art Gallery Foundation

Auckland Art Gallery Foundation exists to support Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the leading visual arts institution of Aotearoa, New Zealand. The Foundation is an independent charitable trust supporting Auckland Art Gallery.

Auckland Art Gallery Foundation's mission is to grow an endowment fund. The fund is used to support special projects at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. The Foundation supports exhibitions, acquisitions, publications, conservation, education and public programmes.

Auckland Art Gallery is a cultural leader in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our purpose is to be a place for art and a catalyst for ideas. We offer experiences that strengthen and enrich our communities, and we value collaboration and dialogue.

With multiple exhibition spaces spreading across four levels of our award-winning building, we are the largest and most inspiring visual arts experience in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our collection and loan collections currently number more than 18,000 artworks. Together, they include major holdings of New Zealand historic, modern and contemporary art. Alongside outstanding works by Māori and Pacific artists, they represent significant international painting, sculpture and print collections.

​As the fastest growing city in Australasia, Auckland has strong Māori and Pacific populations, as well as an expanding Asian demographic. In this context, Auckland Art Gallery plays a vital role as an inclusive hub for creativity for the city’s diverse communities.
