Love Letters Botanica

Call For Entries -

LOVE LETTERS BOTANICA 🪴

LOVELETTERS 2026 will start exhibiting Friday 1st May to Monday 29 June 2026 at Nathan Homestead, Manurewa, Auckland, and then travelling to various botanical-themed spaces around New Zealand during 2026.

The collection will then be donated, where it will be cherished and used for printing education. (The final location is still to be determined).

As always, we will be promoting the exhibition on social media, and we would love you to tag us in your process images, reels and stories @loveletters_letterpress  #lovelettersnz2026.

The LOVELETTERS team is excited to again offer the opportunity to promote print in Aotearoa, and we look forward to welcoming you to LOVELETTERS 2026.
