The Sculptures
The next landmark additions to the trail
Featuring works by Hannah Kidd, Lars Thomson and Andrew Drummond, these sculptures represent the most significant additions to the Geraldine Sculpture Trail to date. Together, they will add scale, diversity and artistic depth to the trail, enriching the experience for locals and visitors while strengthening Geraldine’s reputation as a destination for arts and culture.

Korikori (The Ballerina)
A Trail Built by Community
We are launching a campaign to raise a total of $300,000 to bring three new sculptures to the trail. Part of the ongoing vision for the Geraldine Sculpture Trail. While two sculptures are fully funded, we are continuing to raise funds to support Kōwhai and ensure all works are delivered and installed to the highest standard. These works will add scale, variety and artistic depth to the trail, and represent an important next step in its development. The goal is to have this stage completed by 31 December 2026.
Every dollar raised will contribute directly to the commissioning, fabrication, transportation and installation of these artworks, helping to ensure the Geraldine Sculpture Trail continues to grow as a lasting cultural asset for our region.
