City Gallery Wellington is a dynamic cultural presence in the capital city of Aotearoa New Zealand, showcasing contemporary art from New Zealand and around the world. It is a venue for research, display and debate about modern and contemporary visual art. Art nourishes our souls. It has magical properties. It uplifts and transports our spirits. It fires our imaginations, sparking new ways to see the world and to think about how we occupy it. City Gallery Wellington works collaboratively with artists, galleries, collectors, and an extensive range of organisations and business partners to present exhibitions and events with an edge to test art’s boundaries, challenge our audiences and invite debate. City Gallery Wellington’s activities are designed to nurture curiosity in the ideas explored within contemporary art. Our exhibitions have an edge. They are canon shaping and add to the contemporary art narrative.
