Inspiring Partners
Our partners not only fund our engine room, they are part of it! We have close working relationships with them all. We build events together, develop marketing programmes, design and print beautiful things and keep the office working. Our partners help us ensure that whomever we communicate with or entertain, have a wonderful experience. But most of all, our partners help us honour artists.
Major Partner

All of the Arts Foundation's programmes are possible due to operational funding provided by the Lion Foundation. Without the Lion Foundation's support, we would not be able to support artists, deliver our programme and attract support from corporate partners. The Lion Foundation enables the Arts Foundation to be a major contributor to New Zealand culture across communities.
Awards Partner

Macquarie Private Wealth New Zealand partners the Arts Foundation to present the Macquarie Private Wealth New Zealand Arts Awards. This national awards event is an occasion for us all to demonstrate our pride in, and commitment to, New Zealand artists. It is also a major celebration of arts philanthropy.
Screen partner
On March 25, 2011 TVNZ 7 launched a series of profiles of the New Generation and Laureate artists that received their awards in 2010. This is the beginning of a partnership that has the goal of presenting more New Zealand artists to TV audiences so we can all celebrate the talent in our country.
Official Vehicle Partner

It's Jaguar's passion to make cars that activate the senses. Each Jaguar is made by fine craftsmen and celebrates the highest standards in creative design. This Jaguar spirit resonates with the arts. Jaguar is partnering with the Arts Foundation to invest in New Zealand artists at the top of their game - those exciting artists that stimulate the senses.

We've got an important story to tell and we want to share it with everyone. ELEVEN\PR are helping us do just that and encouraging us to shout a little more loudly about our achievements. We are very grateful to be working with this highly respected PR agency and know that this relationship will help more people enjoy the arts with us.

It's nice to know when people are talking about you! Media Monitors tell us when we are in the news so that we can track how effective we are at promoting our awards and the artists that receive them.
Design partner
You have to have some creative nous to stand out amongst the amazing work we showcase. Insight, our web, brand and print gurus, ensure that we always present ourselves in clear and effective ways. With a design team second to none, they help us tell our story in ways as creative as our artists.
When you have the finest artworks to reproduce on paper, you need the best printer. We've got them.
