We are delighted to announce our list of exhibitors for Auckland Art Fair 2011 - the fourth biennial fair and our biggest to date. This year we welcome 10 Australian galleries including newcomers from Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney and Melbourne and the return of some of our favourites. We also have the largest ever contingent from all over New Zealand, from Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, Gisborne and of course, Auckland. You can find out more about them by clicking down the links on the right hand side. You will learn more about the 200+ artists featured in the fair as things progress but we can say now that it's the most varied and substantial list of artists ever collected into one Auckland venue and they include household names like Damien Hirst. Happy Easter everyone! Jennifer Buckley Director - Auckland Art Fair

Help our friends at SCAPE Christchurch Biennial This great event has been cancelled twice now due to earthquakes. You can help them raise funds for the next event by purchasing a commemorative T-shirt.
