This year’s Artweek Auckland 2020 (12-20 October) will bring life to the city over a week-long festival of installations, late night events, art and food fun, and of course gallery viewings galore.
We want to support everyone in the hood to get involved – artists young and old, professional and non-recognised. Our contribution to Artwork 2020 will celebrate the vibrancy of the Grey Lynn & Around communities; the walking trails of our forefathers, our street art, our Moari and Pacifika heritage and the cultural diversity of everyone who lives, works and enjoys our hood.
We invite artists to create artworks that capture the essence and values of Grey Lynn, communicating a statement of environmental awareness and caring. Entries will be open to schools and artists of all ages. Artworks can be indoor and outdoor and will be displayed on Papatuanuku Urban Flora and Fauna Trail as well as in local retail shops and cafes, bars and restaurants.
We want to reinforce Grey Lynn as an urban neighbourhood with a focus on encouraging social, ecological and economic health and vitality and environmental awareness.
The artworks must align with our vision ‘for thriving business to enable flourishing communities. Sustainability is at the heart of our business and community’.
