Te Haerenga – The Journey in Te Reo Māori is a collection whose goal is activated and directed patronage in the contemporary art scene of Aotearoa New Zealand. Since 2019, under the guidance of collection curator Hamish Coney, the kaupapa of Te haerenga is the mahi toi of emerging women abstract artists. Today the collection numbers over twenty works by artists including Raukura Tūrei, Emma Fitts, Maioha Kara, Jenna Shin, Tia Ansell, Imogen Taylor, Jade Townsend, Salome Tanuvasa, Ella Sutherland, Julia Morison and other leading contemporary artists. Over half of the works in the collection have been acquired at past Aotearoa Art Fairs.
