Hope and Sons
2024 Art Awards

Exhibition Open: 20 April - 18 May 2024
Otago Art Society, Dunedin Railway Station
Open Daily 10am - 4pm

 

The Art Awards have been a successful biennial event, first starting in 1998 to commemorate the
150th anniversary of the Otago province.

The support for local art, having become a strong family tradition, is reflected in the many works on display in the chapel and reception areas of Hope and Sons' funeral home on Andersons Bay Rd, Dunedin.

It is an extensive art collection, built up over many years, which forms more than simply an attractive backdrop for the complex.

In their time of loss clients often find comfort in the memories that a certain painting can evoke - of happier times at a place where they may have visited, stayed or lived. Or it may be that the style of a painting can simply make a difference in the way a person feels, easing the pain.

The collection traces the changing styles of many local artists as they hone their skills and perfect their craft over a number of years. Many of the works within the collection were purchased when artists were starting their careers. Many of our artists are now nationally and internationally known. Notable artist John Toomer is an example, Hope and Sons purchased the first work he sold in the early 1970s.
