THE MILES ART AWARDS 2022

Exhibition - 4 Feb - 15 May 2022

This biennial event and exhibition is an opportunity for artists residing in the Bay of Plenty to submit their most accomplished artworks for Tauranga’s premier art award. The finalists' work are shown in a curated exhibition (4 February – 15 May 2022). This is the seventh 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, The Incubator Creative Hub, and the Bay of Plenty Times.
