Join us for an audio-described tour for blind and low-vision visitors through The Walters Prize 2024 and Aotearoa Contemporary.
The Walters Prize is Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest and most prestigious contemporary art award. Established in 2002 and now in its 11th iteration, the prize showcases and promotes contemporary art, and has, since its inception, shaped emergent discussion about contemporary New Zealand art.
Aotearoa Contemporary offers a platform for new art and ideas, a showcase for what is new and current in Aotearoa New Zealand’s diverse cultural environment.
Both exhibitions sit side by side, offering a vital platform for the contemporary from Aotearoa every three years at the Gallery.
Led by the Gallery’s Curator Pacific Art, Cameron Ah Loo-Matamua, and audio described by Nicola Owen of Audio Described Aotearoa, this tour will last 90 minutes and is limited to 13 people.
Please book your place/s through the link below. If attending with a sighted companion, please book tickets for them also. Please note only one sighted companion per purchase.
The tour is limited to 13 places and we will have two sighted companions available courtesy of Blind Low Vision NZ.
