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...
Notes

Petrus is back
Petrus van der Velden's The Dutch funeral – one of the Gallery's most popular paintings – is back on display today as part of the Storytellers exhibition.
Notes

New van der Velden painting on display
Visitors to the Gallery will soon have the chance to see one of Petrus van der Velden's earliest works.
Notes

Record breaker
It's official – Ron Mueck has become the most popular paid-entry exhibition ever to be shown at Christchurch Art Gallery!
