White Night
For one magical evening, Saturday March 12, Auckland's museums
and galleries stayed open until late, featuring special
exhibitions, activities and performances. White
Night was a must-attend event for contemporary art-lovers and
an exciting night out for the whole family.
With over 50 participating venues including the Auckland Art Gallery, the
Auckland Central City Library, MOTAT (Museum of Transport and
Technology), the Auckland Museum and the Voyager New Zealand Maritime
Museum.
Alongside public and private galleries this was the biggest
night out in Auckland's cultural calender - a perfect follow on
from the day's Pasifika Festival at Western Springs. Free
buses connected key locations across the city.
We look forward to sharing the 2013 Festival programme
with you. Look out for the release of this!
