CHCH Book Launch: Arts Legends Aotearoa Book

The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi and Massey University Press present the official Ōtautahi launch of Arts Legends Aotearoa Book, celebrating 25 years of supporting New Zealand artists. The book features 145 laureates—painters, musicians, writers, dancers, filmmakers, sculptors, composers—across every art form, with stories written by 127 of the country's leading arts writers.

Jessica Palalagi will introduce the evening before artist Tony de Lautour (2012 Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi Laureate) and curator Peter Vangioni join in conversation about the artists' journeys, the role of belief and support at critical moments, and the warmth and humour revealed in their personal accounts. The beautifully designed 400+ page hardback features dual covers—pink on yellow or yellow on pink.
