Turua Gallery
Turua Gallery is all about demystifying the notion of contemporary art. We offer a relaxed space that welcomes you to freely appreciate the creative works of fellow New Zealanders. You’ll encounter the works of both established and emerging artists through the solo and group exhibitions we host, alongside many opportunities to start collecting the special pieces that speak to you.
Beyond the canvas, Turua Gallery holds a wide range of limited-edition prints, sculptures, and ceramics - a broad selection of truly exceptional talent. We are so proud to support some of the amazing artists our country has to offer. Come in and discover uniquely captured experiences of Aotearoa in our beautifully curated collection of contemporary New Zealand art.
Opens from 9th May from 5pm
Showing 9th - 21st May
A group exhibition celebrating the much loved spaces on our doorstep. The favourite spots to wander, holiday, rest, relax, explore and call home.
Landscapes are often pieces that pull at the heartstrings. We have such emotional connections to the places with live, play and holiday. “Our Backyard” promises to capture some of those spaces with a collection that brings together 6 of our much loved landscape artists, all who have their own very distinctive styles.There will be an online presale of selected works the night before the exhibition opens and everyone is welcome to join us at the opening night from 5pm, Friday 9th May, where you’ll be able to chat to some of the artists.
Participating artists: Georgina Hoby Scutt, Josh Lancaster, Judith Milner, Kylie Rusk, Michelle McIver, Sean Beldon.

Plans are well underway for our Give a Kid a Blanket "Fill The Truck Challenge 2025" which is happening on Saturday 24 May from 9am - 2pm outside the gallery.

We will be collecting in the gallery from 5 May - & will be sharing all the details over the next few days. Or you can get in touch with us here.
There will be live music on the street for the morning & Bernie, one of the founders of Give a Kid a Blanket will be joining us too.
We are excited to share we have launched Twilight Viewings.
Twilight Viewings are the perfect opportunity for you to join us in the gallery after 5pm & view an exhibition or collection of works we have showing, along with access to our stock room.These viewings will be perfect for you, if you're an art group who is looking to purchase your next piece, an Interior Designer wanting to work with your client to find perfect pieces, or maybe you’d like to purchase someone special a voucher & book a Twilight Viewing for them to select their gift.
With only one viewing available per evening, you will be the only viewers in the gallery & greeted with a glass of bubbles on arrival. If you are wanting to make an evening of it, we have partnered with Semplice Italian Restaurant, who are next door to our gallery.
