What a whirlwind the 2026 Aotearoa Art Fair was.
Huge congratulations to Ruby Wilkinson on an incredible presentation of Belle Plaine — and for everything that went alongside it, from media to talks. It was quite something.
A big thank you to Emily Hartley-Skudder for jumping in to help with our booth, straight off the back of her own exhibition in the gallery.
We’re also very grateful to everyone who contributed or supported the presentation: Caitlin Devoy for her new cast works and large sculpture on the Sculpture Trail; Sam Woo-Ram Choi for the beautiful table and stools; Graeme Douglas for hosting Ruby’s artist talk and podcast; Kāryn Taylor, Kereama Taepa and Alan Ibell for their works on the outer wall; the team at Sylvester for hosting Ruby in-store; and Ruby’s mum Jacqui for everything - including making sure she got to the fair on time 😘
And finally, congratulations to the Art Fair team on another strong and positive event. We know how much work goes into it — thank you Sue, Kate, Lucy, Bonnie and the wider team. We really appreciate it.
