Historic Villa, Art Gallery & Shop
Non-Profit Arts Society
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.

We produce our own Calendars each year with work chosen from a selection of Northland Artists. Our Calendars help us fundraising to keep the Northland Society of Arts and their artists running, and so we would love your support by purchasing one of these beautiful publications.
