Join us for a very special visit to the world-renowned Gibbs Farm sculpture park for an amazing day of art appreciation and inspiration. Every ticket purchased will support our fundraising goal for the return of our signature annual event, Kids Arts Festival 2024. After a three-year long hiatus we’re excited for the return of this beloved festival, but we need your help to make it happen!

Gibbs Farm is an open-air sculpture park boasting the largest collection of grand-scale outdoor sculpture in Aotearoa. Commissioned from some of the world’s most significant artists including major works by Graham Bennett, Chris Booth, Daniel Buren, Neil Dawson, Marijke de Goey, Andy Goldsworthy, Gerry Judah, Anish Kapoor, Sol LeWitt, Maya Lin, Len Lye, Peter Nicholls, George Rickey, Andrew Rogers, Richard Serra, Kenneth Snelson, Richard Thompson, Jeff Thomson, Leon van den Eijkel, Bernar Venet and Zhan Wang.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity! We are very grateful to The Gibbs Farm trustees for their incredible hospitality, allowing us access to this very special site. As a private property, Gibbs Farm is only open by prior appointment to artists, educational institutions, charities and the public.

Gather your friends, bring along a picnic lunch and enjoy an unforgettable day out, surrounded by breathtaking sculpture, exotic animals and stunning views across the beautiful Kaipara Harbour - while supporting our fundraising initiative for the return of our Kids Arts Festival.
