My name is Geneva Gibson and I am an Art Consultant specialising in historical and contemporary art as well as taking a special interest in intellectual property law as it relates to the arts sector.

I am a graduate of Auckland University holding both a BA and an LLB. I also have papers in 19th and 20th Century New Zealand Art History.
I have a strong interest in the visual arts and supporting the arts community and I feel very honoured to be a trustee of the New Zealand Art Guild Charitable Trust.

Letter of Introduction from the Chair - Brendon Laby
LETTER OF INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR - BRENDON LABY
My passion for the arts stems from my wife's flourishing career as a pure abstract artist, and the resulting immersion in the art world. As a result, I have become an investment buyer of collectable art and sculpture and like to think that I have developed a keen eye for quality work.
Years ago, as an artist starting out on her career, my wife Angela, would paint for the love of painting, and because she developed a unique style which found favour with those who saw and purchased her work. Over time, it became apparent however, that she lacked a direction in respect to where her career could or should go. By chance, it was at this time, that we met Sophia Elise, and with the support and tools offered by the NZ Art Guild, the rest, as they say is history!
Angela has gone on to be a multi-award winning artist, known throughout the art world, and sought after by buyers. Much of her success is directly attributable to her active involvement with the NZ Art Guild. She has received invaluable advice, resources, opportunities and friendship from the Guild and its members. It is an incredibly constructive and supportive environment which has allowed her to challenge and be challenged to extend herself to be all she can be creatively. Frankly, I do not believe that we could have got her to where she now is in her career without the support and assistance provided by the NZ Art Guild.
When the opportunity came along for me to be involved in the next stage of the NZ Art Guild's development, I jumped at the opportunity, and am excited to be able to offer something back to the very organisation which has had such a profound impact on my wife's career and on our lives.

Introducing the NZ Art Guild Charitable Trust
OPEN LETTER TO NZ ART GUILD FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES
24.5.2011
Greetings All,
We are about to launch a new era for the NZ Art Guild.
You have shown interest in some aspect of the work of the NZ Art Guild and the networks it encompasses; most probably its online presence and its member’s exhibitions. Through that contact you may be aware that the NZ Art Guild has been forged out of the vision of a small core team of volunteers, led by Sophia Elise. What has been achieved in the seven years of its existence is truly remarkable and your interest is testament to that.
However, there comes a time when a volunteer network has to evolve into something more sustainable. The art is in doing that without any loss of the integrity and philosophy of the existing organisation.
To support the change to a more sustainable structure, a trust [The New Zealand Art Guild Charitable Trust] has been set up to nurture the NZ Art Guild and to provide a pathway to a secure funding future through public funding, corporate sponsorship and appropriate business development. The trustees are inspired by what has already been achieved and bring new energy to supporting your organisation.
The five trustees bring expertise and knowledge in the areas of fine arts, community arts, intellectual property, law, accounting, business strategy and trust and charity management. They are Brendon Laby [Chair], Lorraine Owens [Deputy Chair], Richard McGill, Dr Bruce Bryant and Geneva Gibson. To read more about them please see the following blog post.
So what does that mean for the wider arts community?
Firstly, it means no change in the delivery of the service to members and the extended network of interested parties such as yourself.
The people managing the organisation with will not change; Sophia Elise will continue in the role of Executive Director supported by Tanya Dann, Sharlene Schmidt, Christine Dempster, Marimba Powley and John Boylan.
NZ Art Guild will continue to provide members with:
• The online gallery which supports and promotes the work of member artists
• The forum which gives members an online voice and discussion space
• Members exhibitions and opportunities
• Advice on arts matters and networks to other key programmes and sites
• Discounts to members on arts related services
NZ Art Guild will continue to provide the wider arts sector with:
• Project management of art events such as charity auctions and exhibitions
• Co-Managing the Kumeu Art in the Garden Festival
• Art Hire for venues and events
• Sourcing artworks for events and commissions
• Advice and support on arts matters
Over time you can expect to see an improved web site, the development of new mentoring programmes, partnerships with other like minded arts organisations and an increased membership base which will enliven and stimulate the dialogue that is currently enjoyed. The possibility of international partnerships is also part of the longer term plan.
You may wish to continue with the level of connection you currently maintain. However, the future strength of the NZ Arts Guild will lie, in part, with its ability to provide relevant and cutting edge services to the arts community and to grow its membership around those services. You can make a significant contribution to the future of this organisation by either becoming a member and/or promoting it to other artists in your communities.
For some of you there may be an option to align with us as a sponsor or through a donorship programme. [The trust is currently applying for to the Charities Commission for Charitable Status which means all donations will be tax deductible.] A larger membership base from a wide range of sources means greater financial security for the NZ Art Guild. It means simply that the current volunteers can be paid for the tireless work that they do on behalf of our arts sector.
So, we thank you for your past support and interest and hope and expect that you will continue to find the NZ Art Guild relevant and inspiring. In short, the NZ Art Guild is entering a new and exciting period and you are warmly invited to share the ride.

One Good Deed joins with NZ Art Guild
Exciting News for the NZ Art Guild
The NZ Art Guild is very excited to announce a new collaboration with the fundraising organisation - One Good Deed (OGD).
One Good Deed was started in January as a way for artists to support each others dreams through fundraising. A group of artists, spread throughout New Zealand, joined together to raise funds for a fellow artist to attend an artists residency in India in March. OGD's vision is simple - to assist their peers to follow their artistic dreams and achieve their creative goals. OGD is simply put - a group of artists working together to support artists.
We fully support and embrace the vision and mission of OGD and would like to take this opportunity to welcome one of OGD’s founding members Marimba Powley to the NZ Art Guild management team. Marimba will continue to manage OGD under the NZ Art Guild. She will be responsible for art donations, communications with artists and public, information updates, promotion as well as working closely with the team at NZ Art Guild to create fundraising opportunities for future nominees.
In the near future you will see OGD on the NZ Art Guild website, blog, Facebook page, twitter and members forum.
For those of you who participated in OGD's inaugural project (fundraising for Sharlene Schmidt) we would like to thank you again for the help and support and invite you to take part in the future of OGD. We welcome your input, whether you choose to participate by donating an artwork, donating funds, nominating a new project (including one of your own), helping promote the next initiative or purchasing work.
All questions and communications regarding One Good Deed should be directed to

Antonia Luz Ines has won the national "Environmental Photography Challenge" run by the Waitakaruru Sculpture Park for her photograph entitled "Glacial Landscape".
The judge's comments were:
"'Glacial Landscape' is a strong image that beautifully captures the tension between water and rock, plays with ideas of scale and shows a cohesive attention to colour, form and composition" - competition judge Margi Moore
