A Link to ART FOR A CURE
Curio Wines proudly supports Art For A Cure.
The Inaugural Art for a Cure exhibition runs from 22 October – 01 November 2009 at Hopetoun Alpha, Auckland, New Zealand
Art for a Cure was conceived to raise funds to support the Breast Cancer Research Trust’s goal to find a cure for breast cancer within the next nine years.
There are two key components to the exhibition.
The first is a collection of five limited edition sculptures by some of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists who have each specially chosen or created a work for Art for a Cure. These pieces are intimate in scale and editioned so that more than one collector can experience their magic. They are available for acquisition both at the exhibition and on the Trust’s website.
The second part of Art for a Cure includes works created by more of New Zealand’s finest artists, and in this instance inspired by some of the country’s greatest singers, songwriters and composers. These works will go to auction on the evening of Friday 30th of October. These artists were invited to create an artwork inspired by their favourite music and the results are unique works that capture our time in New Zealand art and music history.
The exhibition also includes an art performance component. Visitors can buy an umbrella conceived of and designed by painter Andre Hemer and form part of a moving, growing artwork that flowers in the rain and takes art and the Breast Cancer Cure vision out into the world.
The project has been distinguished by the incredible generosity of the art and wider creative community and we ask you to take note of their contributions and support them as they so generously support Art for a Cure.
Further, we invite you to seize this opportunity to own these exceptional pieces of New Zealand history with their unique and valuable provenance, and in so doing to support the research into finding a cure for breast cancer for the enduring benefit of current and future generations around the world.
