Art sponsorship of $30,000 for biennial shows
PA Nelson The Wellington-based Goodman Group, Ltd, will award $30,000 every two years to sponsor an important exhibition of contemporary New Zealand painting. The Suter Art Gallery, Nelson, will receive the sponsorship, the largest given to visual arts in New Zealand. Under the “Goodman Suter Biennial,” as the award will be known, $23,000 will be set aside to buy works from the exhibition.
Two-thirds of those paintings will.be allocated to the permanent collection of the Suter Gallery and one-third to another civic art gallery, to be chosen on a rotational basis. The remaining $7OOO will be used for promotion. The chairman of the Goodman Group, Mr Pat Goodman, said, “The unusual form which the sponsorship has taken has been deliberately chosen to give both gallery and artists the most benefit from the award.”
