Top Art Exhibition schedule

Aria Stoneham, John Paul College

Show: Top Art homepage | Visual Arts homepage

The Top Art Exhibition travels the country until October as three tours. In previous years there were two tours, known as the Northern and Southern tour, or Tour One and Tour Two, but in 2023 things have come together a little differently, so we have expanded the exhibition to three tours named Pohutukawa, Pīwakawaka and Kauri.

Please contact individual venues to confirm opening times and availability.

Note that installation / de-installation time may be required and restrictions may apply.
