The Gallery Havelock

Founded in 2014, The Gallery Havelock is a community organisation based in Havelock, New Zealand working on arts & culture, community development.

The Gallery Havelock is a non-profit art gallery in Havelock, in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, at the gateway to the Pelorus Sound. It showcases the work of around 25 Marlborough artists, who pay an affordable rent or a modest commission on sales. The gallery is run largely by volunteers, seven days a week. Profits are returned to the local community: according to the gallery, more than NZD 87,500 had been donated to community organisations in Havelock, Linkwater, Canvastown, Rai Valley and the wider Pelorus area. The gallery opened in October 2014 and reports between 16,000 and 19,000 visitors a year. It sells original works, prints and commissioned pieces by local artists, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewellery and textiles. Its own website also describes a grant scheme administered through The Havelock Gallery Trust, which is a separate entity.
