DONATIONS

The Mercury Bay Art Escape is one of New Zealand’s leading regional art experiences.

The organisation is run by a core group of experienced and successful member-artists. We operate on a collaborative basis and encourage ideas, input and involvement from all member artists. Our core group has a broad range of skills and offers guidance, advice and mentoring to the wider group.

Our Mission

To promote and develop the growth of the visual arts in the Mercury Bay area in particular, and the wider Coromandel Peninsula in general.

We work diligently to promote awareness of the richness, quality and eclectic character of the Coromandel Peninsula's Mercury Bay area art scene through developing our vision by:

• creating a dynamic, vibrant and quality art tour and local exhibitions

• successfully promoting our art talent through events in the wider New Zealand Community

• showcasing new, diverse and innovative emerging artists

• working closely with organisations to enhance development of art tourism activity

• rapidly growing the contribution of art to the success of the region and visitors' enjoyment
