Fair Trust Art Prize

The Fair Trust Art Prize

Te Manawa is proud to partner with the Eileen Fair Charitable Trust to deliver the Fair Trust Art Prize.

The $40,000 Fair Trust Art Prize is one of the most substantial awards of its kind in Aotearoa New Zealand. It is awarded annually, by nomination, to a mid-career artist working in any genre, medium, or practice. Recipients are selected for the social relevance of their ideas and the strength of their visual expression.

Prize recipients are supported by our team to develop and present a solo exhibition in our modernist art gallery, alongside a programme of public events for the local community. Following the exhibition, a work developed for the show enters Te Manawa’s permanent art collection.
