Kelan’s Gift: Art on the Goldfields

Set against the stunning landscapes of Bannockburn, Art on the Goldfields is a one-of-a-kind, private outdoor art experience, where creativity meets a life-saving cause.

Wander a curated trail of contemporary art celebrating local New Zealand Artists, sip world-class Central Otago wines, enjoy a walk-and-fork culinary experience, and relax to live local music. All while helping fund Street Smart defensive driving programmes for youth in memory of Kelan, a young life lost far too soon.

This intimate event is limited to just 149 tickets, reflecting the $149 cost to send one young person through the Street Smart course.

About Kelan's Gift

Kelan’s Gift was created in memory of Kelan — a much-loved son, brother, and friend whose life was tragically cut short in a car accident. His family founded this initiative to help prevent future loss by supporting youth access to driver safety training.

Proceeds from Art on the Goldfields will go directly towards funding Street Smart defensive driving courses for young people in Cromwell and surrounding communities — giving them the skills and confidence to stay safe on New Zealand roads.

A Message from the Stroud Family

“Kelan was a bright, caring young man whose life was tragically cut short. As a family, we wanted to turn our grief into something positive — to help other young people stay safe behind the wheel. Kelan’s Gift is our way of honouring his memory by supporting the Street Smart programme, giving young drivers the skills and confidence to make safer choices on the road. Thank you for supporting this important cause and helping us create a legacy of safer driving for generations to come.”
— The Stroud Family
