11:05 Fiona Campbell
Philanthropist Fiona Campbell worked for a number of dealer galleries before joining forces with Rob McLeod and Gerald Barnett to create the Real Art Roadshow, a touring contemporary New Zealand art collection that brings art to school students in geographically isolated or challenging locations.
