The River
Opening on 15th March, The River will be the gallery's first major exhibition of the year.
The River will feature new works by many of the gallery's artists providing their own interpretation, from the literal with works depicting the Whanganui River itself, to the figurative and abstract.
See videos featuring some of the works on our YouTube Channel.
Including River of Grace by Jana Branca, Bird from the Awa by Oriah Rapley, and works featuring the Whanganui River by Greg Chichester, Paul Hooker, Raymond Jennings, and Max Thomson.
