New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts

All these artists appear in the book Portrait of a Century: The History of the N.Z. Academy of Fine Arts, 1882-1982 by Robin Kay and Tony Eden. This book was published by Millwood Press and has been digitised by Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu.

This book lists artist and other members of the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts active between 1882 and 1982. The NZAFA was founded in Wellington in 1882 and is still active as a society today.

This book does not list every artist who exhibited with the NZAFA because not all catalogues were available when the book was produced. Missing are the Annual Exhibition catalogues for 1896, 1911, 1913, 1915, 1917, 1946 and 1939.

Every Annual Exhibition catalogue from 1889 to 1973 has since been found and these have been digitised by Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.

The archives of the NZAFA, including exhibition catalogues, are held at the Alexander Turnbull Library.
