AUCKLAND 2020 ARTWEEK.CO.NZ Tēnā koutou katoa Haere mai ki a koutou i ngā nui whakakitenga o te Wiki o Mahi Toi o Tamaki Makaurau Haere mai, haere mai, haere mai rā Welcome to Artweek Auckland, an annual, week-long festival celebrating the Visual Arts of Auckland. 2020 marks ten years of the festival. We’ve reached that milestone by keeping things simple and keeping them interesting. Artweek is run by a team whose goal is to encourage people to look at art. That’s it. There are exhibitions, events, and great partnerships with local businesses. There are light shows, late nights, bicycle tours, street art and more painting, photography, installation and sculpture than you can shake a stick at. But, most importantly, Artweek seeks to show you what every week can be like if you choose to make art part of your ‘normal’. Artweek divides our super-sized city into precincts, highlighting galleries and art spaces that may be on your commute that you never knew were there. And if you think you’re not into art, that may be more likely a disconnect between what you think of as art than what you think and feel when you see art ‘in the wild’. It’s easy to dismiss things that have not been part of your experience as unnecessary, superfluous, meaningless, a waste of precious resources. Artweek is a reminder that you have a right to be here in these spaces, and artists want you in them. There is art that shouts and art that whispers, art that is best looked at by yourself and art that only happens in crowds. You can speak and be spoken to, you are in charge of your experience. So why come along? Well, why not? You don’t have to, of course. But it’s nice here. For information on the full programme visit artweek.co.nz. I do hope you enjoy the programme.
