We are thrilled to advise that Friends of Women’s Refuges Trust has donated a record-breaking $350,000 donation to NZ Women’s Refuge from the proceeds of the NZ Sculpture OnShore 2023 exhibition!
This donation, which exceeds all expectations, is thanks to the event’s sponsors, patrons, artists, trustees, small management team, 370+ volunteers, and everyone who came to the event. Thank you all so much!
The exhibition attracted 21,000 visitors – the biggest turnout in its 27-year history.
The donation will support Women’s Refuge NZs programs including the provision of crisis accommodation for women and children, essential personal care items, and counselling and advocacy support.
The exhibition is the biggest fundraising event for Women’s Refuge NZ and the largest outdoor sculpture event in the country.
That deserves another BIG THANK YOU! We hope you all enjoyed the exhibition and look forward to welcoming you back in 2025.
