Visual Art Gallery

 

Our gallery has three diverse visual arts collections on display.

 

NEW:   Grahame Sydney Collection

What is believed to be New Zealand’s largest private collection of Grahame Sydney lithographs and etchings is now on display in our Art Gallery.  Grahame Sydney is one of New Zealand's best known artists and this large collection gives visitors the opportunity to see a range of Sydney's skills on display.  Subjects range from distinctive Sydney landscapes to nude studies.

Crombie Lockwood Insurance Brokers have sponsored this collection which will be on display until March 2015.

 

RealArt Roadshow

The Real Art Roadshow aims to give students interested in art the opportunity to see the real thing; to be inspired, challenged and ‘wowed’ by the true scale, texture and colour of original artworks, no matter where they live or where they study.  The Real Art Roadshow features two collections – one is always on display at our art gallery while the other tours New Zealand secondary schools.  

Go online www.realartroadshow.co.nz to view the full collection and video interviews with the artists.

Wanaka Wearable Creations

The Wanaka Wearable Creations Show was first held in 2001.  Now eight of the best creations are on display in the Warbirds and Wheels art gallery.  The display includes outfits from the latest show in November 2014.

The Lion Foundation provided funding for this display.
