Miles Art Awards 2018  

This bi-annual event and exhibition is an opportunity for artists residing in the Bay of Plenty to submit their most accomplished artworks for Tauranga’s premiere art award. The finalists work will be shown in a curated exhibition (16 June – 2 September 2018). This is the fifth installment of our biennial awards and exhibition at Tauranga Art Gallery.

The event is named after one of Tauranga Art Gallery’s original donors, Venetta Miles, who is remembered for her considerable foresight and generosity. The Miles Art Awards is generously supported by The Venetta Miles Trust and made possible also thanks to the Friends of Tauranga Art Gallery, Tauranga Mayor Greg Brownless, The Incubator Creative Hub, and the Bay of Plenty Times.
