The National Art Exhibition and Sale has become one of the most exciting events in Hawke's Bay's art calendar and the largest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. For a list of leading New Zealand artists whose paintings were offered for sale at the Exhibition last year click here.

The National Art Exhibition and Sale will commence with an official opening and cocktail evening on Friday 11th June 2010.

There will be a lucky draw for two presentation packs of premium wines kindly donated by Ngatarawa Wines.  With a new layout for those wishing to purchase this year there will be more opportunity to view and consider the wonderful paintings.

Tickets for the opening cocktail evening hosted by Ngatarawa Wines and Napier Municipal Theatre are limited and traditionally are fully sold well before the event.

National Art Exhibition and Sale is an annual event organized by the Rotary Club of Greenmeadows. Proceeds from the exhibition are donated to community projects... Over the past 12 years more than $250,000 has been raised for the Hawke's Bay community.

The major sponsor of this event is Somerset Smith & Partners in association with a number of leading Hawke's Bay companies ... see list of main sponsors on right.
