‘Gallery’
The Eastern Southland Gallery is open during the Arts Trail and during other times.
Nicknamed the ‘Goreggenheim’ by Saatchi & Saatchi boss Kevin Roberts, the Eastern Southland Gallery is a regional public art museum, situated in the Arts and Heritage Precinct of Gore’s central business district.
Established in a former Carnegie Library building in 1984, the Gallery is a successful adaptive re-use of a significant historic Southland landmark. The original handsome brick library building was funded with a grant of £2,000 from famous Scottish philanthropist Andrew Carnegie and designed by prominent Invercargill architect ER Wilson.
The Gallery is operated by the Eastern Southland Gallery Incorporated, and staffed and supported by the Arts and Heritage Department of the Gore District Council.
