The Wellington Sculpture Trust is an independent charitable trust which funds and advocates for public sculptures in Wellington, New Zealand. It is funded by private and corporate donations and works with the Wellington City Council. It has commissioned and bought sculptures sited in the Botanic Garden, Cobham Drive at the head of Evans Bay in Rongotai, the Wellington waterfront and Lambton Quay in the central city. In 1982 funds were needed to install Albatross a statue on the waterfront by Tanya Ashken. The Wellington City Council had agreed to a site on the waterfront but funding for the sculpture had to be found. After the initial fundraising for Albatross Henry Lang and Dr Ian Prior formed the Trust in 1983 to advocate for public sculptures and provide financial support. During the demolition and rebuilding which occurred in Wellington city in the 1980s the Trust saw that public sculptures would enhance cultural and spiritual values as the city was redeveloped.
