To all entrants,

Thank you for entering the Kumeū Arts Awards 2024.
We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to enter. All of the artworks entered have been carefully considered.

125 artists entered the Kumeū Art Awards this year with a total of 190 artworks. Unfortunately, due to the size of our galleries, we were unable to select all entries that were received. We are looking forward to hanging the selected 130 artworks across our galleries in a saloon style installation. 

We are sorry if your entry has not been chosen for the Awards exhibition this year. We are unable to provide individual responses or feedback. If you are not already a part of the Kumeū Arts community, please come along and have a chat with us about what we offer artists and how we can support you to exhibit here with us.
