REYBURN HOUSE ART GALLERY
Nestled down at the iconic Town Basin in Whangarei, this lovingly restored historic villa houses some real delights. Home to the thriving Northland Society of Arts, who were established back in 1989, they continue to host exhibition space for artists to hire, along with a boutique shop filed with unique pieces of local artworks.
Following the Hatea River, and just a quick walk through our Heritage Rose gardens, you will find the Reyburn Art Studio. This creative space houses the Firebirds Ceramic group and Fire Frenzy along with a main studio space for various groups to hire.
Entry to the Gallery is free but a donation is always appreciated. Run as a non-profit by mostly volunteers, your donation would help us to keep supporting Northland Artists.

There and Back Again – A World Tour in Paint
Exhibition Dates – July 2nd – 28th
“My wife and I did a 5 month around the world tour and visited many countries. These paintings share some of our sights of Europe, South America, Asia, and Oceania and were done in watermedia while travelling. They look at different aspects of life, scenery and architecture that we saw on our travels.”
-Alan Wilkinson-Mackie
Alan paints mostly in acrylic at home but uses watercolour and acrylic when travelling. He has been painting for approximately 15 years and enjoys capturing nature and scenery in the area. This is the first time he has exhibited a large solo body of work at Reyburn House.
