It’s the last days of Art in the Park this weekend – a uniquely curated art show held annually at Eden Park. 

It showcases the works of both emerging and established New Zealand artists.  

The King’s Trust has been the charity partner of the event for the last four years – an organisation formed in 1967 with the vision that every young person should have the chance to succeed. 

It’s been running in New Zealand for six years, and CEO Rod Baxter told Kerre Woodham that in terms of economic value, they’ve quadrupled every dollar that was invested. 

He says it’s not just about the success of the King's Trust and the Government, and the corporate supporters, but also the success of the community off young people.
