A Gallery
A bright new contemporary art gallery in Whanganui, New Zealand showcasing local artists and crafts. Exhibitions and a stock room.
Current Exhibitions
The Coloured Pencil + Atomic Vanitas
Galleries also open Queens Birthday Monday 9.30am to 3pm
In A Gallery we have "The Coloured Pencil". The whimsical imagery of Margaret Silverwood and the photorealistic portraiture of Bonnie Wroe, both artists who excel in the medium of the coloured pencil.
In Gallery 85 we have "Atomic Vanitas" - Lynn Hurst.
Lynn's inclusion of imagery of Bikini Atoll and Mururoa nuclear testing clouds anticipates an anniversary or remembrance of sorts. This coming July it will be 75 years since the United States started its atomic testing program in the Pacific.
