Keep your eyes peeled around Wellington

The streets of Wellington will be lit up with these artworks at Urban Art's digital gallery in the foyer of the Wellington Railway. Also view them at Zealandia, Lambton Quay, on the giant screens inside Wellington International Airport and keep watch for more surprise locations around Wellington.

Drawing attention to the work of Predator Free Wellington and Zealandia

The next phase of Predator Free Wellington's eradication will involve 19 suburbs - from Kilbirnie around to Owhiro Bay and up through to the CBD.

"We have gathered an outstanding group of artists showing their unique perceptions and representations of our country’s birdlife. We hope the exposure of these beautiful pieces will continue to create discussion around extinction and wildlife preservation." 

- Urban Art's creative director Andrew Hagen
