Q Theatre is proud to announce a new partnership with Shaw and Partners, one of Australasia's most respected investment advisory firms, reinforcing a shared commitment to investing in Auckland's future through culture, community, and long-term relationships.
Since opening in 2011, Q Theatre has established itself as Auckland's leading independent performing arts venue, presenting more than 440 performances annually across theatre, dance, comedy, music, festivals, and contemporary performance.
We're delighted to welcome Shaw and Partners to the Q whānau, said Sally-Anne Kerr, Chief Executive at Q Theatre. Their commitment to long-term thinking, meaningful relationships, and investing in communities aligns strongly with our vision for Q. This
partnership helps ensure we can continue providing a home for artists and audiences while enriching Auckland.
Richard O’Brien, CEO at Shaw and Partners, said the partnership reflects the firm's commitment to supporting the communities in which its people and clients live and work.
At Shaw and Partners, we believe successful communities are built on more than financial prosperity - they also need thriving cultural institutions. Q Theatre is an iconic part of Auckland's creative landscape, and we're pleased to support an organisation that brings people together through outstanding live performance and shared experiences.
The partnership will provide Shaw and Partners with opportunities to host clients in one of Auckland's prominent performing arts venues while supporting the continued growth of New Zealand's creative sector.
With the City Rail Link opening on Q Theatre's doorstep in the coming months, the partnership also looks to the future, positioning both organisations to be part of an increasingly vibrant city centre and an expanded arts precinct.
Together, Q Theatre and Shaw and Partners are investing in a more connected, creative, and prosperous Auckland.
