About us
The Chartwell Trust was set up in the early 1970s as a charitable trust to realise our vision for wider access to and deeper understanding of creative visual thinking. The Chartwell Collection was established in 1974 as a privately managed public collection, with all acquisitions immediately going into public gallery care and use. We continue to acquire significant works of contemporary art and the 2000+ strong Chartwell Collection is held on long term loan at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. We are proud to support and activate the education sector, artists, and researchers, complement our public art gallery spaces, collections, and exhibitions, and are advocates for participation in making and understanding art as a process, as action with intention and fulfilment.
