Unfortunately we've had to cancel our Exhibition and Live Auction this weekend.
But the good news is that all the Live Auction items have been added to the Silent Auction so everyone will have a chance to bid on these exclusive paintings that we were saving, by clicking on this link app.galabid.com/tamaki
This is a NO RESERVE auction and you may never have another chance to buy art from these award winning artists at these prices.

We've also extended the Silent Auction which will now close on Sunday 23 August at 5.30pm

All art has been generously donated by the artists, which means all proceeds will go to www.KidsCan.org.nz... The demand for NZ children in need of warm clothes and nourishing food will be even greater in the coming days, weeks and months ahead...

So please support KidsCan by bidding or donating NOW
