Tent Art Festival

Overview

Tent, run by the clever team behind the Auckland Art Fair, is a series of live and virtual art exhibitions taking place across the motu this weekend.

Pop-up exhibitions are set to take place in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Pōneke Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Tauranga, Raglan and Tamahere, with contactless and virtual offerings happening for Aucklanders still stuck in level 3 lockdown.

26 galleries and over 100 artists will be showing over 400 artworks over the next four days … but the catch? They can't show in their own gallery space, so they're 'camping' out elsewhere in the country instead.

In Pōneke Wellington, art-loving fashionistas can check out exhibitions at both Kowtow's Wellington store and the  Yu Mei Lounge, or head along to Newton's drive-thru space at night to peer in through the large windows at night.

Thanks to lockdown in Tа̄maki Makarau, several galleries are putting on by-request window displays, so you can enjoy the art from the safety of the street, and all galleries will be offering virtual viewing spaces so you can enjoy the works from the comfort of the couch.

To find an exhibition occurring in your neck of the woods, to enquire about a work, or just to virtually view some beautiful art, head to offical website.
