The Central Art Gallery

I did not really go inside the galleries. I just loved the outside and the facade of the buildings. It felt like being in Europe. There is a cinema in one of the buildings, which is interesting. There is also another gallery where the artists themselves have their own small studios and make their own arts and crafts. We went on a Sunday and there were some food stalls at the end, too.

Possibly one of the best dealer art gallery in Christchurch. Located within the Art Centre complex of buildings. Lovely art gallery space, with high ceilings and good natural light. Folina was very helpful and knowledgeable. Was very fortunate to see Dick Frizell’s excellent art exhibition at the gallery. A must visit gallery if you are visiting Christchurch.

Central Art Gallery is an absolute gem and a must-visit for any art lover! The space is beautifully curated, with a diverse range of artwork that truly captivates. From contemporary pieces to stunning classics, the displays are thoughtfully arranged and create an immersive experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive vibe of the gallery. Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or just looking for inspiration, this gallery is a treasure trove of creativity. 👍 Highly recommended!

Interesting but kinda bit meh could be more engaging, depending on the day you go, some staff are helpful but other staff look bored and rude to tourist. Normally nice visit, just maybe needs some staff to be more tourist friendly and maybe make the place more interesting with facts etc.

Very beautiful courtyard and architecture itself it’s a marvel. Highly recommended to just talk a walk around and enjoy the peace and serenity of the grounds. There’s a free museum (Rutherford’s den) in the premises as well.

Very historical place within great architecture.

The new Central Art Gallery at the Christchurch Arts Centre is located in the gorgeous Old Library. Newly and beautifully renovated, the Gallery is full of space, light and wonderful artworks by Contemporary NZ Artists. Highly recommended for a visit and for anyone who wants to buy art.

So good to walk around and see how much work has been achieved in 12 year's after the Christchurch earthquakes. Still alot to finish at the front side of Worcester Street .:)
