A selection of new and noteworthy works headline spring at Wānaka’s contemporary art gallery Gallery Thirty Three.

The gallery is recognised as a leading art and cultural destination in the Southern Lakes and exhibits paintings, sculptures and jewellery created by leading New Zealand and Australian artists.

“As we launch into spring we are bustling with yet another exhibition change-over,” says gallery director Vanessa George. “The diverse exhibition programme changes monthly with openings happening on the first Friday of each month. These lively events are a great opportunity to visit the gallery, hear from the artists themselves and a chance to catch up with like-minded art lovers over a glass of Maude wine.”

During September Gallery Thirty Three features new works by Michel Tuffery and Ben Reid. October sees fresh creations from Sean Beldon, Belinda Griffiths and Kiya Nancarrow while November will showcase artists Jane Mitchell and John Oxborough.

“Our Summer Series will open on December 5 and run through until the end of January,” says Vanessa. “This is the only exception to our monthly changeovers as this is an evolving exhibition and when works sell, new works are hung in their place. This exhibition is dynamic, featuring new pieces from many of our very talented stable of artists including Bing Dawe, Simon Kaan, Sierra Roberts, Luke Jacomb, Neil Driver, Mark Rayner and Josh and Amelia Olley, to name but a few.”

Gallery Thirty Three also presents a stunning showcase of jewellery from many esteemed New Zealand jewellers including Ann Culy, Rainer Beneke, Barry Clarke and John Z. Robinson.

 “These bespoke, high-quality handmade pieces are wearable pieces of art so if you are looking for something extra special, viewing is highly recommended.”

Gallery Thirty Three is located at 33 Helwick Street Wānaka. Open every day except Christmas day the gallery ships works around New Zealand and internationally.
