Supporters

The Adam Art Gallery greatly appreciates the support it receives from various sources. These include cultural organisations; Creative New Zealand, National Services, Asia-link, Mondriaan Foundation, Culture Ireland; and sponsors such as International Office and Coopers Creek. We also enjoy the support of individuals who have provided funds for the gallery since its inception.

We encourage you to support the gallery as your help is vital if we are to achieve the goals we have set ourselves. There are a variety of ways you can show your support for the Adam Art Gallery.

VOLUNTEERS

The Adam Art Gallery is able to operate because of the support of our many volunteers who devote their time and energy to the gallery. Volunteer activities at the gallery are varied, and range from assisting at openings and exhibition installation to front-of-house duties and distributing promotional material for the gallery. Supporting the gallery in this way is a good opportunity to learn new skills and help with the day to day running of the space.

Please see Learning Opportunities for detailed information on our volunteer programme.
