Donate to the SOE Art and Ceramics Collection Fund

Your gift will help preserve the pieces in the collection for years to come.

The art and ceramics collection was first established at the Wellington Teachers College (WTC), later known as the Wellington College of Education, in the 1950s. Staff and students gifted or bought artworks for a college art collection. Art was also purchased from students at their exhibitions at the college.

The collection is not just a teaching aid, but a teaching resource, now owned and maintained by the School of Education. The wonderful stories and insights into the collection items include the artists’ backgrounds, the unique environment in which the works were made, and how the collection can be used for art education.

The pieces sometimes need a little love and care with repairs and maintenance. Your donation to the collection will help us preserve these pieces for years to come.
