Overview

We are thrilled to share the incredible success of Fibre Gallery, a distinct art gallery exclusively dedicated to showcasing talented Pacific artists from across Aotearoa. Since our opening in Ōtautahi in 2022, we have witnessed an overwhelming response, with over 8,000 Pacific visitors in just the past 10 months. Now, we are excited to take Fibre Gallery to new heights by developing an innovative education program to complement our exhibition program.

To achieve this goal, we are seeking your generous support. Your contributions will make a significant impact by providing resources for artist fees, workshop materials, and transportation costs for schools and community groups.

The proposed education program will serve as a platform for fostering creativity, cultural exchange, and community engagement. It will offer valuable opportunities for students and community members to connect with Pacific art and artists, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of Pacific culture. By incorporating workshops, artist talks, and hands-on activities, we aim to inspire and empower individuals to explore their own artistic potential.

Your donation will directly support Pacific artists by providing fair compensation for their expertise and talent. It will enable us to secure high-quality workshop materials, ensuring that participants have access to the necessary tools and resources to fully engage in the creative process. Additionally, your support will help cover transportation costs, allowing us to reach schools and community groups who may face financial barriers to accessing cultural experiences.

By contributing to this initiative, you will play a vital role in empowering Pacific artists and communities. Your generosity will help us create a nurturing environment for artistic expression and cultural exchange, fostering pride and celebrating the rich heritage of the Pacific.

We invite you to be part of this exciting journey and make a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals. Together, we can amplify the voices of Pacific artists, inspire creativity, and strengthen community connections.
