Renee Tanner has been immersed in visual arts for the past 10 years, first as Assistant Curator of Asian Art at the National Gallery of Victoria, which lead on to two years working in Taiwan and travelling throughout Asia. On returning to New Zealand, she assisted in developing the Art Suitcase project, a touring show initiative for schools while the Auckland Art Gallery was under redevelopment. Then, as public programmes coordinator for Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts, she undertook a wide range of new initiatives, including establishing a community orchard in Otara with artist A.D.Schierning, holding a talk series on architecture, design and art collecting, holding artist-run spaces tours, hosting the Home New Zealand Design Awards, and holding Krumping sessions with local teenagers as well as healthy cooking classes for after school children.
