Historic Villa, Art Gallery & Shop
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.

Galleries 1, 2, 3 & 4:
RIVERSIDE PAINTERS
“AS YOU LIKE IT”
Every Thursday, the Riverside Painters meet at the Reyburn Art Studio by the Hatea River in Whangarei.
This exhibition is an opportunity for the Riverside Painters to showcase their creativity and share their passion for art.
“Our group is as diverse as the art we create, with each member bringing their unique perspective and style. Media may include oil paints, acrylics, water colours or mixed media, hard materials and even ideas from modern technology.
In this “As You Like It” exhibition, you will find pieces that connect with you in different ways, and that is exactly as it should be as art can be very personal.
Please come and take time to view our work and perhaps you will discover a special piece that speaks to you, just – as you like it.
Gallery 5:
MAGGIE CROSS & WANDA BEEHRE
We welcome back to the Gallery this extraordinary duo of Maggie and Wanda.
With Maggie we always get a rich tapestry of colours and textures with her landscape collages. Maggie loves creating and always tries to capture the whimsy and joyfulness of life in her works.
Wanda produces smooth flowing seascapes full of fluid movements and soft tones to recreate her passion for the New Zealand coastline. We get a great sense of her love for the sea in her works.
Joining these two different artists is their passion for Art, New Zealand scenery and the joy of creating, we can’t wait to see their latest exhibition of work starting next week!
