Sacred Hill Vineyards will present this year’s Annual Fine
Arts Commission for the Auckland Festival of
Photography.
The Annual Fine Arts Commission sits at
the heart of the Auckland Festival of Photography programme
and is New Zealand’s only annual commission of a
photographic artwork by a fine arts photographer. The
Commission provides an opportunity to showcase an Auckland
photographic talent and creates an important cultural and
artistic asset for present and future Auckland audiences to
enjoy.
Sacred Hill Managing Director David Mason
says the company is delighted to sponsor the Annual Fine
Arts Commission and help the festival support and promote
emerging photographic talent.
“It takes a
combination of talent, belief and hard work to follow
artistic passion. That resonates with us as it reflects the
way we approach winemaking,” Mr Mason says. “We relish
the opportunity to support this type of endeavour and to
help artists bring their work to a broader audience.”
“We wish the short listed candidates all the best and
look forward to working with the commissioned artist and
festival organisers to help make this year’s event a great
success.”
The short listed candidates for the 2014
Annual Fine Arts Commission are Tanu Gago, Qiane Matata-Sipa
and Raymond Sagapolutele.
The winner of the
commission will be announced in March and the Annual Fine
Arts Commission opens in June in Silo 6 on Auckland’s
waterfront.
The Auckland Festival of Photography is a
signature visual arts event that celebrates a city abundant
with great photographic talent. This annual festival is New
Zealand’s largest photographic event with a programme
featuring a multitude of exhibitions and events. The annual
festival, now in its eleventh year, encourages people to
celebrate the art of photography thanks to dozens of
exhibitions and events throughout the Auckland region,
including professionally curated exhibitions in leading
institutions and gallery spaces. This year’s programme
will run from 29 May to 20 June.
