What does it mean to commit to the essential value that contemporary art contributes to society? This circle recognises the essential role played in the ecosystem by legacy givers who make invaluable contributions to Artspace Aotearoa, the wider arts community, and subsequently to society. This circle invites enduring contributors to make a recurring annual pledge to Artspace Aotearoa ($5000+). This vital level of support contributes to the long-term wellbeing of Artspace Aotearoa. Stability fosters intricacy and depth, and ensures we continue to be resilient, dynamic, and relevant now and into the future.

What does it take to produce outstanding contemporary art programmes? If it’s important to you to encounter exhibitions of national impact and international quality, where artists test new ground, existing works are revisited, and where lively discourse emerges, then this is the circle for you. Your support goes towards the presentation of the wide range of artwork included in our exhibition programme as well as the design that supports it. It contributes to the commissioning of new artwork, writing, and our ability to give you the leading programme you expect from Artspace Aotearoa.

What does it take to amplify content presented in an exhibition and the broader work we do as a significant contemporary arts organisation? If it is important to you to increase the positive impact that contemporary art can have on our lives and that a range of audiences have access to the forum of contemporary art, then this circle is for you. Your support goes towards our diverse events programme, mentoring activities, targeted engagement with a wide variety of learners, and our ability to continue to double down on our reach since 1987.

What does it take to nourish an arts community? If it is important to you that Aotearoa plays a leading role in contemporary art on an international stage and that communities here have access to leading practitioners from around the world, then this circle is for you. Your support goes toward bringing to our shores leading artists to contribute to our programme, along with a wide range of significant actors from contemporary art to engage with our context, developing partnerships with international institutions, and continuing our ability to act as a bridge between Aotearoa and the international conversation.

What does it mean to be an arts benefactor in Aotearoa today? If you are curious about supporting the arts, we are seeking the next generation of arts benefactors for long-term sector growth in Aotearoa. We are looking to connect, educate, and inspire a younger generation of arts supporters and raise awareness of arts benefaction in Aotearoa. The New Benefactors are a part of the Supporters Circles, and choose a circle to support at an entry level amount and also have special opportunities to connect with each other throughout the year. The New Benefactors is a clear pathway to established arts patronage.
