Our Sponsors

Thank you to all our sponsors

As a Not for Profit organisation, we cannot exist without the generosity of our sponsors and funding providers. We could not offer art classes with low-class numbers and low fees, provide a high calibre of tutors, keep our membership fees low and present our NZ Awards, as a supportive environment for experienced and new artists, at such an affordable level.

We rely on our sponsor’s continued support to be able to bring an art platform to the Waikato, like no other, with a 90-year-old history. Our background is rich in innovation and a celebration of artists who have been through and continue to come through our doors at the WSA. Thank you very much.
