gave a talk about the paintings and taught a

This Tairua gallery has quite the reputation for being artist friendly. It

is run like a cooperative, with attention given to making sure there is

an intriguing mix of works exhibited, most by Coromandel artists. This

diverse, intimate gallery prides itself on offering ‘a little of the best’,

representing over 40 artists, and often has “up to 1000 works exhibited

at any one time” according to owner Sarah Holden.

There are frequent theme exhibits and sales throughout the year, and

many of the artists are Mercury Bay Art Escape members (see below).
