TThe Auckland Grammar School Foundation Trust launched the annual Art Expo in 2002. Held in the School’s Great Hall over a weekend, the event featured over 160 artists showcasing their artwork with over 2,000 attendees through its doors. In 2016, the Art Expo became the biennial Art House Tour to help establish a point of difference to the other art shows hosted by other Auckland schools.
2026 marks the sixth biennial Art House Tour, a one-day ticketed
event taking place on Saturday 21 November. Comprising a tour of homes in and
around the Grammar Zone, the Art House Tour also includes the Gallery situated
within the Old Boys’ Pavilion on campus. The Gallery will be open to the public
on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November. Across all homes and the Gallery,
artworks from over 100 artists will be featured.
The art displayed within each of the homes on the Art House Tour
has been carefully curated by our committee. All proceeds from the Art House
Tour will go towards the Academic Endowment Fund, allowing Auckland Grammar
School to recruit, retain and reward the very best teachers for its young men
in the classroom. You can read more about the Academic Endowment Fund here.
