The Arts Foundation was established in 1998 to honour extraordinary New Zealand artists with awards that celebrate their achievement and enable their artistic practice. Since its inception the Foundation has gifted 311 outstanding artists right around Aotearoa New Zealand with awards totalling $9 million and Boosted givers haven given over $12 million to artists or arts organisations through our crowdfunding website, totalling over $21 million towards amplifying the arts.
Foundation awards include Icons, Laureates, the Katherine Mansfield Menton Fellowship, the Marti Friedlander Photographic Award, the Harriet Friedlander Residency, the Mallinson Rendel Illustrators Award, and the new Springboard for young artists, which will be gifted for the second time in 2021.
