Kura Gallery provides access for locals and international visitors to quality contemporary Maori and New Zealand art design through well established highly visible art spaces located in Wellington and Auckland. She has lived and travelled extensively around the world and has first hand experience in recognising the value and importance of supporting indigenous arts. Jude opened her first gallery in Namibia, Africa, providing a space for local artists to sell their works and enabling opportunities for travellers to access authentic arts and crafts from the area. Jude opened her first Kura Gallery in Taupo 1998 with the same intention, recognising the lack of available gallery spaces for many of our talented and skilled artists to exhibit and promote their work.
Jude co owned Kura Taupo with business partner Carol until 200 when an opportunity to open another gallery in Wellington presented itself. Jude is a visionary and like the rest of the Kura team, very passionate about supporting the growth of Maori art and increasing the exposure of Maori and New Zealand art design to locals and and the international community.
