NZ Sculpture OnShore’s 13th Exhibition O'Peretu/Fort Takapuna Historic Reserve, DEVONPORT: October 30th - November 14th this year It’s fantastic to see the return of NZ Sculpture OnShore, New Zealand's largest outdoor sculpture exhibition. First held in 1996 in a private garden on the shores of Lake Pupuke in Takapuna, this biennial event grew so much in popularity that in 2004 it moved to the spectacular cliff top location in Devonport, O’Peretu/Fort Takapuna Historic Reserve. The event is one of the largest fundraising events for Women’s Refuge NZ. Dr Ang Jury, CEO of Women’s Refuge says, “Our relationship with NZ Sculpture OnShore has spanned 26 years, and we are thrilled to be involved with another inspiring event. The funds raised, make such a valuable difference to the lives of the 20,000 women and children in NZ that Women’s Refuge helps every year.”
