Gain real-world insights into contemporary art.

Art Today Perpetuals offers a rare opportunity to learn and share perspectives on contemporary art through peer-led discussions, guest lectures and gallery visits. Designed for those with prior knowledge of modern and contemporary art, this course aims to enrich participants’ understanding of current exhibitions, events and collections in Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad.

Classes alternate between lectures at Te Tuhi and gallery visits. Past guest speakers include Fiona Connor, Sarah Hopkinson, Yona Lee, Judy Darragh, Finn McCahon-Jones, Mokopōpaki, Ngahiraka Mason and Vera Mey, bringing you broad-ranging insights into contemporary art in Aotearoa and the Pacific. Onsite sessions begin with What’s On—an overview of current exhibitions and events—and an opportunity for participants to share news and insights. Alternate fortnightly sessions consist of visits to galleries and private collections.

Art Today Perpetuals provides a relaxed learning environment with no formal assessments. Participants are encouraged to contribute to the programme with their own expertise and interests. While enrolments are for one year, many continue year after year.

Art Today Perpetuals is programmed by Grace Wright in consultation with Lois Perry. Find the annual schedule here.
