Each year the NZ Art Guild members create a collaborative artwork. It's used to raise awarenss & funds for the Mental Health Foundation of NZ. 100% of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to MHF.

This year 62 artists have contributed to "Bloom" by creating individual artworks. They were provided with a small, wooden panel with a prepainted background colour and given the theme New Beginnings & Growth. Interpretation of this theme was entirely up to the artists.

The overall image of the collaborative artwork is kept secret from the artists until the unveiling of the artwork on opening night of the NZ Art Guild members exhibition. When all 64 artworks are combined they create an overall image & a stunning one of a kind artwork.

Bloom can be viewed at the Bruce Mason Centre, Takapuna, Auckland until July 29th It is ONLY for sale via trademe.
