ArtBox offers an imaginative and practical way to support artists in Christchurch






If you are looking for a good art cause to support, you can't do much better than this. ArtBox is a project that will provide exhibition space and studios for Christchurch artists. The people behind this timely initiative aim to raise $250,000 to build 18 modular, mobile gallery/studio spaces that will provide 300 square metres of exhibition and work space for artists. It's a great idea and a cost-effective and practical way to assist artists in a city that has suffered over 8,000 earthquakes and aftershocks since the first 7.1 magnitude quake almost a year ago that wrecked the city centre and thousands of homes. There are a number of ways you can help them to achieve their funding target, all outlined on the ArtBox website.
