Campaigners in Christchurch have raised $270,000 to install a rugby-themed artwork by late artist Philip Trusttum in the city’s new stadium. The project aims to honor Trusttum’s legacy and celebrate the stadium’s opening. Trusttum was known for his rugby-inspired creations, reflecting his deep connection to the sport. The artwork will be displayed in a prominent location within the stadium. The fundraising campaign was launched following Trusttum’s death this year. Supporters collected donations through online platforms and local events. The installation is expected to take place ahead of the stadium’s official opening. The artwork symbolizes both Trusttum’s passion and the city’s sporting culture. The project highlights community efforts to preserve local artistic heritage. Trusttum’s work has been featured in several exhibitions. The stadium is a key part of Christchurch’s urban renewal plan. The installation will serve as a lasting tribute to the artist and the city’s rugby tradition.
