SUMMARY:The Adam Portraiture Awards 2026
DESCRIPTION:Portraits ask us to spend time with the likeness of another person. They invite us to look beyond appearance and consider identity\, relationships\, memory and the many ways a person can be represented. While every portrait begins with an individual\, together they become something larger: a record of the people\, communities and stories that shape a place and a moment in time. \n‍ \nThe Adam Portraiture Award is Aotearoa New Zealand’s premier award for painted portraiture. Presented biennially by the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata\, the award has become one of the country’s most significant and anticipated art prizes. Since its inception in 2000\, it has celebrated excellence in contemporary portraiture while creating an evolving record of Aotearoa through the people artists choose to paint. Since 2006\, each winning work has been acquired into the New Zealand Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection. \nThe Adam Portraiture Awards are generously supported by The Adam Foundation\, with Principal Partners Wellington City Council and Creative New Zealand\, and Supporting Partner The Sargood Bequest\, the award provides artists from across Aotearoa with the opportunity to exhibit their work on a national stage. \nFeaturing works by established and emerging artists from across the country\, The Adam Portraiture Award 2026 showcases the diversity of contemporary portrait painting in Aotearoa. From intimate studies of family and friends to portraits that examine culture\, history\, identity and belonging\, the exhibition reveals the many possibilities of portraiture today. Collectively\, the selected works offer a compelling snapshot of contemporary New Zealand through the people who inhabit it. \nIf you are visually impaired and would like to access audio descriptions during your visit via Bluetooth headphones\, please contact Hayley at exhibitions@teatamira.nz to book a suitable time. \nExhibition developed and toured by the New Zealand Portrait Gallery Te Pūkenga Whakaata. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImage: Duncan Pepe Long\, Solomon Tāmehana\, 2026\, oil on wood (winner)

SUMMARY:Strung

SUMMARY:AWE+ Emerging Artist Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Mozart quietly writes under Michael Haydn’s name so his ailing friend can fulfil a commission. AWE 2026 Emerging Composer Rafael Hosking’s The shape of upper branches\, July 2026 for string quartet\, echoes the riroriro’s song as it shifts from region to region across Aotearoa. Ravel playfully stretches the serenade\, while Korngold‘s wartime melody\, later the theme of his Piano Quintet’s slow movement heard at AWE 2026’s closing concert\, reflects on separation and enduring connection. Fifteen-year-old Beethoven closes with an early glimpse of a voice already reshaping the traditions it inherited. \n‍ \nPerformers AWE 2026 Emerging Artists \n\nEsther Oh – Violin\nSolace Ward – Viola\nBoudewijn Keenan – Cello\nHana Tani – Piano

SUMMARY:Winterstellar: At the Edge of the Universe
DESCRIPTION:Winterstellar Charitable Trust is a charity working to protect Central Otago’s night skies\, and Professor Brian Boyle is a renowned astronomer behind Nobel prize–winning research\, who has spent years working alongside them. Their efforts recently secured Dark Sky status for the Kawarau Gibbston International Night Sky Park. This is the highest rating a night sky can hold\, where a stretch of sky is protected simply for what it is and for what it lets us see. That conversation is where Radiance was born\, a programme about cosmic lines  and about what looking up at them stirs in us. \nJoin us for what will be an illuminating talk as Professor Boyle lights up Central Otago’s night skies.
