Our Partners
Partnerships are critical to achieving our objectives.With our founding partners we have established the following National Programmes:
With TheNewDowse

The Blumhardt Gallery - New Zealand’s premier showcase for the applied arts and design. The Blumhardt Collection – of nationally significant applied art and design objects |

The partnership with The Blumhardt Foundation - and the related partnerships with The National Library and Creative New Zealand - allow The Dowse to play a much increased role in supporting, celebrating and encouraging participation in the decorative arts and design.
We see partnerships of this kind as the way of the future. We commend Doreen on her extraordinary vision and generosity in establishing such a well-founded and sustainable Foundation. Tim Walker, (previous) Director
