GIVE BACK

Help support Hawke’s Bay’s next generation of creatives.

Goal: Provide a $5000 scholarship for a Hawke’s Bay visual arts student by end of 2027. Alternatively a meaningful mentorship or aligned opportunity for an early-career creative. No overheads. No admin costs. Your contribution goes directly to the recipient.

If you’ve made your way here it’s likely you’ve already supported Hawke’s Bay’s creative community by enjoying The Hawke’s Bay Art Experience or visiting That Little Art Studio - thank you. We believe in the power of generosity and giving back and invite you to make one more small contribution to this little corner of the world.

We aim to provide our first scholarship or mentorship by the end of 2027, and to facilitate an annual fund. The intention is to make a meaningful difference by way of financial support or targeted mentorship by a chosen expert supporting career pathways within the visual arts in Hawke’s Bay and beyond. Preference will be given to creatives with talent and initiative who would benefit from financial assistance. Applications open mid-year.

MAKE A CONTRIBUTION

The most significant and meaningful single boost to an individual can come from the most unexpected places. From a single large philanthropic gesture, to the combination of many small ones, every contribution helps. Sincere thanks for your part in this journey.

Fund administered by HBAE and TLAS owner Sonia Chrystall. Application process for recipients via Hawke’s Bay education facilities/arts organisations/relevant other parties.

The Hawke’s Bay Art Experience and That Little Art Studio is proud to support our creative community. Thank you for helping support the future of creativity in Hawke’s Bay - Sonia Chrystall.
