Silver Scroll nominee Ed Castelow (the mastermind behind psychedelic pop outfit Dictaphone Blues, and formerly of The Ruby Suns and The Brunettes fame) will perform a very special solo set in the NZI Foyer to celebrate New Zealand Music Month 2016.
Dictaphone Blues began as a bedroom project for Castelow in 2006. Independent radio found favourites in early singles ‘Spooky Room’ and ‘Taken Aback’ and the silver scroll nominated 'Her Heart Breaks Like a Wave'. The band have released two albums and a Limited Edition 7”; played with Okkervil River, New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene and The Pains Of Being Pure at Heart; and toured NZ and Australia.

Countdown to Fifteen
Fifteen is our birthday party (guess how old we are…) and it’s less than two weeks away! It’s also the opening event for Tony de Lautour’s US V THEM, which is our big winter exhibition. We asked curator Peter Vangioni and visitor programmes coordinator Amy Marr what they’re most excited about in the incredible line-up for this grand birthday bash.

Been to some lame ‘youth’ events lately?
Now’s your chance to help create a cool event for you and your friends!
The Mix is Christchurch’s Art Gallery bi-monthly late-night event – an interactive mix of art, music, film and good people. We want to run a Mix designed, curated and for under 18s – ReMix.

Gallery Happenings: Grayson Gilmour
In early March we were lucky enough to have the incredibly talented Grayson Gilmour performing at the Gallery, supported by the equally talented Purple Pilgrims and New Dawn. I love these gigs, but there is a lot of work to be done behind the scenes to make sure that, by the time the public walk in the door, the foyer is gig ready. The process normally feels like a long, slow marathon with a sprint at the final corner. So here’s a guide to how you too can get the NZI Foyer gig-ready in five (or six) easy steps.
