Warbirds and Wheels Museum

Visual Art Gallery

 

 

 

Warbirds & Wheels new art gallery will appeal to the creative buffs and will be displaying art from the Real Art Roadshow. 

The Real Art Roadshow is the brainchild of Fiona Campbell, Rob McLeod and Gerald Barnett, three visionary art curators who had the idea of bringing real art to school students in geographically isolated or challenging locations throughout New Zealand. Prior to the Roadshow, many of these students had only encountered New Zealand art through textbooks and web images.  Realising that it’s not always possible to bring the students to the art, the team had a eureka moment and decided to bring the art to the students!

The Real Art Roadshow aims to give students interested in art the opportunity to see the real thing; to be inspired, challenged and ‘wowed’ by the true scale, texture and colour of original artworks, no matter where they live or where they study.

The Roadshow has two collections, the Silver Collection and the Black Collection.  For the next two years, the Silver Collection will be on the road visiting school children in the North Island, while the Black Collection will be on display at Warbirds & Wheels gallery.
