In 2000, the Queenstown Lakes District Council established an independent district arts trust. The Council committed a generous annual grant along with administrative support to the trustees – all in the name of bringing public artworks to the district. Two decades on, with the Council’s continued pledge to the trust, and the trustees continued pledge to the mission – there are numerous public sculptures on display throughout our district. The trustees remain true to the mission – continuing to identify potential sites and artists for future inspirational installations – on behalf of the Council.
