Pat Hanly Creativity Awards 2019 recipients

 

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki hosted The Pat Hanly Creativity Awards last Thursday night (29 August), recognising thirty-six exceptional Year 13 art students from twenty-eight secondary schools throughout the Auckland region.

Established in 2002, the Awards recognise secondary school students who display high levels of creativity in the visual arts.

Auckland Art Gallery Director Kirsten Paisley said at the award ceremony: ‘The Pat Hanly Creativity Awards have always been about making art accessible and encouraging young people to have a voice. They create a sense of achievement and recognition, and open up the possibility of making connections with peers and with Auckland Art Gallery.’

The awards, supported by AUT, acknowledge the late artist Pat Hanly’s outstanding contribution to New Zealand contemporary art and his passion for art education and supporting young artists.

Each awarded student received a gift bag of art supplies and vouchers donated by Gordon Harris, and has the opportunity to attend exclusive art workshops with artists Janet Lilo, John Vea, Lucy Meyle, Ziggy Lever and Luise Fong.

‘Congratulations to all students who have been recognised by the Pat Hanly Creativity Awards this year – we can’t wait to see where their passion and hard work takes them’ says Paisley.
