Run by the Tauranga Sunrise Rotary Club, Treasured Art – the annual art auction and exhibition – is this year proudly sponsored by Volvo.

Running over two days and one evening, the event will take place on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 November at the Duncan & Ebbett Showrooms.

All profits will go to Kiwi Can; a Graeme Dingle Foundation programme delivering values and life skills to five to twelve-year-old children in our local schools.

The invitation-only auction evening on 10 November will be MC’d by Miriama Smith and will feature live entertainment, music, wine and exquisite canapés served throughout the evening.

Both pre-loved and new works of art will be sold on either a 50/50 commission basis or 100% donation. This event is a chance for Tauranga art lovers to relax, network and bid for some prestigious pieces of art.

In previous years, we have onsold some wonderful collectable art from well-known New Zealand artists including an Arthur Dagley collection and various works from Graeme Sydney, Hayley Brown, Peter Wallers, Susan Harrison-Tustain, A. A. Deans, Richard Ponder, Kate Jones-Madill, Anita Blanchett and John Speedy.

Since 2010, Treasured Art has raised over $100,000 for Kiwi Can, supported 1,100 kiwi kids every year, entertained over 1,500 locals and sold well over 200 pieces of art. The Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise is now seeking submissions of art both preloved and new art or precious pieces.

If you would like to turn your art into cash and support a great cause, please submit art by 31 August at, www.treasuredart.co.nz.
