Huakaiwaka Indoor Gallery – now open

The exhibition’s Huakaiwaka Indoor Gallery offered a varied range of medium and small scale sculpture from the artists exhibiting in the outdoor show, as well as work from previous exhibitors and invited guest artists from all over the country. Curated by Cheryl Wright, the show reflected the incredible diversity of contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand sculptural practice.
