Proceeds from the sales will go directly to support the institutions involved such as McCahon House and Objectspace. Editions are an affordable way for art lovers and first time collectors to access and own work by highly regarded artists.
The Fair will open to the public with an opening night event on Wednesday 25 May. The evening of Friday 27 will see a special new event, the Auckland Art Fair Artists’ Party, which offers a chance to mingle with artists and gallery directors in a fun, informal atmosphere at the Fair.
Door sales are $30 and 4-day passes are $75. Tickets for the exclusive Opening Night on 25th May are $95 and $45 for the Artists Party on 27th May.
