The Arts House Trust does not consider or accept unsolicited artist portfolios or exhibition proposals.
Our exhibition programme is developed through a curatorial process led by our curatorial team. Artists and exhibition projects are identified through ongoing research, engagement with artistic practice across Aotearoa New Zealand, and direct invitations from the Trust.
Due to the volume of enquiries we receive, we are unable to review or provide feedback on unsolicited submissions. We appreciate artists considering The Arts House Trust and thank you for your understanding.
