This festive season, we’re open as normal every day except Christmas Day when we’re enjoying a day off, and Wednesday 1 January, when we’re closing at 5pm. Meri Kirihimete!
If, when we're open, an artist represented in our collection dies, we generally arrange for a work of theirs to be hung at the top of the stairs on the side of the entrance to the Burdon Family Gallery, with a label that notes their contribution and recent passing. I like this simple convention and the respect it shows for an arts practitioner whose contribution to New Zealand art we've thought well enough of to acquire.
