The Suter Art Gallery

What a lovely gallery! I found the exhibits really interesting. And if nothing else, it has free entry, walking distance to the centre of Nelson, has a lovely cafe and shop. Definitely worth popping in for 45 mins.

There was a wide variety of exhibits in a modern environment. The staff were very friendly and the cafe served good food and coffee.nnAn added bonus is that the gallery is next door to the Queen's Gardens which has plenty of shelter when the sun is out.

Gallery is great with challenging and thought provoking exhibitions. Unfortunately had a pretty disappointing breakfast at the cafe. Coffee was tepid when delivered to the table after 10 minutes and the same with the food delivered a further 10 minutes after that. Given the cafe wasn't that busy this was pretty disappointing, especially considering the premium prices. Serving staff were very professional and attentive but the coffee/food made it a pretty disappointing experience overall.

Small and cozy gallery with small exhibitions, that you can visit on rainy days or if you like arts and don’t want to spend hours. Going through takes about 40-60 minutes and entering the gallery is free! You can also buy some of the art or any souvenirs in the shop. Thank you!

I'm concerned about the consequences of the morale of our future generations when this gallery lets artists/activists display works desecrating our New Zealand flag.nI'm sure others share this concern with me. Results from a poll alongside an article on the controversial exhibition in the NZ herald that says 82% think this is inappropriate. Until they start vetting the potential of this kind of negative influence in the prospective artists submitted work, I wouldn't recommend this Gallery.
