Surprise gift of $500,000 for the arts


Philanthropist Sir Eion Edgar has announced that his family is donating $500,000 to the Arts Foundation of New Zealand. His surprise announcement was made last night on the occasion of the Arts Foundation's AGM and his retirement as a Trustee. 

Sir Eion said: "I believe that the arts are a vital part and integral part of our society. I also believe strongly in the vision of the Arts Foundation, which is to encourage private patronage for the arts and to celebrate and support our hard working artists."
