Open House – our opening (and reopening) exhibitions
It's an open house. Come in. That's the simple message we'll be sending when the Gallery reopens later this year.

Pupils' self-portraits aid in healing
SELF-PORTRAITS created by a group of year 3 pupils who had spent the morning of February 22 at the Christchurch Art Gallery have become both a permanent record and a way to heal the emotional impact of their experiences.

Where's my Bulletin gone?
On 22 February B.164 was drying in piles on the floor of Spectrum Print. The job had just been finished and press-passed the day before, and was due to be bound the next day. Of course, that never happened.

From the director
As many of you know, Christchurch Art Gallery has been closed to visitors since 22 February 2011 when an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale struck New Zealand's second largest city. It's the second major earthquake to strike Christchurch and came just over six months after the first on 4 September 2010.
