We aim for the Auckland Art & Craft Fair (Fair) to be held only twice a year (Summer and Winter) each will have a selection of New Zealands best contemporary and independent Designers, Artists and Crafters available, selling their wares direct to the public for one day only.
The Auckland Craft Collective is a project of Jessica Whiting and Kylie Richardson and is a resource for providing practical business support to the Auckland craft community. The Fair is a natural progression to not only help behind the scenes (by the educational evenings that the Craft Collective host) but to also help put together a selling platform that is marketed and advertised professionally and helps vendors present themselves and their businesses in a unique way to potential customers, clients and suppliers.
The Fair will be a destination event that customers can look forward to and make a day of being in the heart of the Auckland CBD. Available on the day for customers will be EftPos facilities, along with everything that the Auckland Art Gallery has to offer including Reuben Cafe and the amazing Parsons bookshop, not to mention all the exhibitions on at the gallery — so something for everyone. Saturday $4 parking is available for vendors and visitors that use the Victoria Street Car Park with a special discount voucher from the gallery. With the Fair being held inside, it will be lovely and cosy for our guests, no matter the weather.
Each vendor will be chosen for their focus on quality products, craftsmanship, ingenuity that all are well designed and well executed. With independent Photographers, Artists, Illustrators, Jewellers, Fashion Designers, Homeware Designers and more, coming together for customers to make a purchase will soul and take home something different and unique, while supporting this home grown industry.
