About us
The TENNZ group is made up of New Zealand museums and art galleries that actively generate and receive touring exhibitions. The network has representatives from metropolitan and regional institutions covering a wide range of multidisciplinary exhibition concepts and projects. We also share information and opportunities about international touring exhibitions.
Membership
Membership is free. Membership of the network is not open to exhibition touring agencies - but agencies may present to the network at TENNZ meetings.
Meetings
TENNZ members meet twice a year (May and November). The May meeting is a half-day gathering, timed and located with the MA conference. The focus of this meeting is primarily a marketplace where members have an opportunity to promote touring exhibitions from their institution. There is also an opportunity for the host museum or gallery to show delegates around a recently opened exhibition.
The November meeting is a full-day gathering and is hosted by one of the TENNZ members. Although the November meeting has a marketplace and exhibition tour, it also includes presentations and discussions relevant to the museum and gallery exhibition sector.
Meetings are collegial and a broad range of issues around touring and staging exhibitions are discussed.
Our register
The TENNZ register is the trading place where available touring exhibition briefs are posted. Any venue interested in hosting one of the exhibitions posted here is encouraged to contact the relevant institution.
This register is currently under development. In the meantime, we will post touring exhibition opportunities below.
