A young Belgian couple who created a unique piece of art during their time in New Zealand are now looking for a new home for it.

Gie Coche and Arthur Buerms converted a truck into a travelling art space during the pandemic  - driving it 36,000km around the country and showcasing over 100 Kiwi artists along the way. For the last three years the Nomadic Art Gallery truck has been exhibited at the Connells Sculpture Park on Waiheke Island and the pair have moved back to Belgium where they've been bringing the work of New Zealand artists to European audiences. But time and Auckland's weather has not been kind to the truck.

The pair are seeking a more permanent home for it and join Kathryn to explain where they hope it will end up.
