Here's looking at you, kid
Within the Gallery's collection, there are plenty of eyes willing to meet yours, but while some seem content to merely receive our gaze, others look back with a certain character and intensity.

Heartfelt congratulations to Chartwell Trust who last night received the 2011 Arts Foundation of New Zealand Award for Patronage. Chartwell is the sixth annual recipient of this great award and joins previously honoured philanthropists Denis and Verna Adam, Dame Jenny Gibbs, Roderick and Gillian Deane, Adrienne, Lady Stewart and Gus and Irene Fisher.

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.
