Part of the Auckland Festival of Photography

Launched in 2011, the Auckland Festival of Photography’s Annual Commission was the first annual commission in New Zealand to be offered for photographic artists and is seen as an important step in actively promoting and advancing the artists and the art form.

The Annual Commission is a key event in the Festival Programme with the new commissioned work unveiled each year. This exhibition at the Pah Homestead showcases the work produced for the Annual Commission over the past ten years.

Each artist has a growing body of work which includes the work commissioned by the Auckland Festival of Photography.
