Keeping cool
It's forecast to be a long, hot summer this year. To help you keep cool, we'll be making some important improvements to the Gallery's air conditioning system later this month. And to try to help us all stay cool we'll be utilising a more sustainable energy source.
Notes
Wall to wall van der Velden
Right now, visitors to the Gallery have an excellent opportunity to view three key paintings by Petrus van der Velden in the current Brought To Light hang, and all without even having to take a single step.

Take the children to Ron Mueck for free!
We're celebrating the new year and the runaway success of Ron Mueck by giving families the opportunity to take two children to see the exhibition for free during January.
Notes
From the director
I cannot imagine a more challenging or topsy-turvy year than the one we've just had (well, maybe last year). But when I think of the impact on this city of the 4 September Canterbury earthquake, I am so pleased we were able to steer the final quarter of the Gallery's exhibitions programme to the public domain in its entirety. We have a fantastic and committed staff and my end-of-year thanks go to all of them.
Notes
A clear view
There's a lot of glass in the Gallery foyer – 2184 panes of it to be precise. It's part of what makes the foyer the impressive space that it is.
Notes
Christmas at the Gallery
There's something for everyone at the Gallery over the festive season.
Notes
Annapurna
That's the name of Jae Hoon Lee's spectacular new billboard. Commissioned by the Gallery for the Springboard series, it's the latest installation in our Outer Spaces programme.
Notes
Erratum, errata, eratic, or just not very good
As any of you who receive or read Bulletin will have noticed, we had a something of a technical hiccup in the last issue...
