The Chartwell Project encompasses a wide range of support for public art galleries, seen as gymnasiums for the mind, giving access to art for us all.

The Chartwell Collection is a public collection which has always been under the care of the professional expertise provided by the public art gallery staff. As a loan collection, curators from public art galleries in New Zealand, Australia and further afield have accessed works for exhibition.

Chartwell has also supported a range of public art galleries initiatives around New Zealand including art foundations, redevelopment projects, start-ups, exhibition development, publications and education programmes.

Some recent support has included:

• The Auckland Art Gallery Foundation

• The Christchurch Art Gallery Foundation

• Adam Art Gallery, University of Victoria, Wellington - The Chartwell Galleries

• Objectspace - The Chartwell Gallery
• Artspace Aotearoa

• Te Uru Contemporary Art Gallery - exhibition and programme/education support

• City Gallery Wellington - education projects and family days

• McCahon House Museum

• Biennale of Sydney

• NZ at the Venice Biennale

• A range of artist-run spaces and smaller art initiatives around New Zealand, including Enjoy Contemporary Art Space in Wellington, Blue Oyster Art Project Space in Dunedin and The Physics Room in Christchurch.
