Moonlight - Opening Night

Moonlight connects emerging talent with established professionals, through their ‘moonlight projects’ – personal work created beyond the boundaries of the day. 

We’re excited to invite you to Moonlight, a showcase exhibition presented by the Designers Institute of New Zealand and Raydar to help cultivate the creative community.
12 talented young artists will exhibit alongside 12 leading industry professionals. The artwork celebrates their passion projects – personal work created after dark, when true creative spirit reveals itself.

Proceeds from artwork sold will be equally divided between theartist and a DINZ fund for future creative collaboration events.
