Art House Tour 2022 returns bigger and better
Saturday 26 November sees the return of the biennial Auckland Grammar School Foundation Trust Art House Tour. This unique event offers visitors the opportunity to tour eight of Auckland’s finest homes and gardens within the Grammar zone while at the same time viewing a wide selection of art for sale.
The Art House Tour, in association with Barfoot & Thompson, is set to delight audiences with a number of award-winning local and international artists exhibiting alongside emerging young artists from Auckland Grammar School.
The event launches on the evening of Friday 25 November, with the opportunity to attend the student art exhibition in the Heritage Room of the School’s Library. The main event, the Auckland Grammar School Foundation Trust Art House Tour, takes place between 10am- 4pm on Saturday 26 November.
The Art House Tour provides attendees with a gallery viewing experience in some of Auckland’s most beautiful homes. Each home will be carefully curated to display a number of works from 5-8 individual artists, with each piece of work available to purchase on the day. Funds raised go towards the Auckland Grammar School Foundation Trust Academic Endowment Fund to assist the School to recruit, reward and retain the very best teachers. Tickets for both events are limited and are available to purchase at www.arthousetour.co.nz Tickets for the Art House Tour on Saturday 26 November are $80 per person and include free entry to the Friday night exhibition.
The tour includes “The Gallery” a dedicated Art Shop open on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 November. The Gallery will be open to both tour goers and the general public and will be located at the School in the Old Boys’ Pavilion (accessed via Gate 4 on Mountain Road) and offers a range of smaller artworks and gifts for sale.
