A competition for a Thursday morning
We had so much fun running a caption competition for this image with the Gallery staff, we thought we would let everyone have a go. A Gallery paperweight lies in store for the three winners as judged by me...
Tim's Antipode
Our own resident adventurer, Gallery librarian Tim Jones recently travelled via land and sea from Christchurch to Foz in Spain.
George Harrison
Can't wait to see the new movie George Harrison: Living in the Material World by Scorsese which is released this month. The Beatles are a popular band here at the Gallery - we even have our own tribute wall in the staffroom.
Political platform
Cass gets another working over in the urban art show Oi, you! currently on in Nelson.
An invitation to discover the Outer Spaces
While the Gallery doors remain closed to the public, there's still plenty to see outside with Outer Spaces – an ongoing programme of artworks 'outside the box'.
The men with the midas touch
They've done it again. Our seriously awesome web designers Sons & Co scored a gold award in the interactive category for our new mobile web version of the Gallery's site.
