A group of Year 11 Art students were accepted into an invitation only viewing day at Gibbs Sculpture Farm, just north of Auckland on Friday April 13.

Gibbs Farm is a 400ha sculptural park of international renown and includes a designated zoo where exotic animals such as giraffe, buffalo, zebra, emu and alpaca roam. It is unbelievable that we have such world-class art on our doorstep. It was an amazing experience where students were able to come into close encounter with large scale sculptures, some reaching 45m high. This visit exposed students to a world of creative possibilities.
