We are celebrating 7 years of The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary in Otaki and 11 years of our Opportunity for Animals opshops with our first ever fundraising Art Auction! We have been overwhelmed by the quantity and range of artwork donated by over 100 local and international artists. As a result, we are delighted to be able to provide a mix of bidding opportunities, all featuring different artwork!

  • Online Auction - live from Saturday 27 May until 2200hr on Wednesday 31 May.
  • Slient Auction - Monday 29 May until Saturday 3 June at Thistle Hall, Cuba St, Wellington (with many additional pieces to 'buy now').
  • Live Auction - Saturday 3 June from 1800 at Thistle Hall, Cuba St, Wellington.

There is sure to be something to suit all tastes and budgets. The artwork is mixed media, with an adventurous range of pieces exploring the themes of animals, the environment, animal rights, feminism, intersectionality and nature. 

This is an event where everyone gets the chance to help with animal rescue. While you may not be able to adopt an animal yourself, you can bid on a beautiful animal-themed artwork that supports the cause. Every dollar raised will go directly towards animal care over the winter months.

The Black Sheep Animal Sanctuary is owned by the Animal Protection Society, Inc., and is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abandoned and abused animals. We work predominantly with ex-farm animals and have over 180 animals on site. Our kaupapa is intersectional: pro-feminist and anti-racist; opposing sexism, inequality and environmental destruction, and we acknowledge local iwi and hapū as tangata whenua. We are queer and queer-friendly. The sanctuary is run mostly by volunteers, and financially supported by donations and our independent Opportunity for Animals opshops in Newtown, Miramar and Ōtaki. On site in Ōtaki we value empowerment through learning and sharing practical skills, especially with people of minority backgrounds, and we seek to support both human and animal rights against all forms of oppression. 

We are a registered charity so any donation, including artwork, can be claimed back as a tax credit.
