Art lovers art house: Tait Gallery
Hanmer Springs boasts many attractions to captivate the scores of visitors that flock to this scenic hamlet in search of time out in a gorgeous locale.
Alongside its hotels, eateries, and boutique stores, Hanmer Springs is renowned as a destination for art lovers, and for those looking for something different to hang on their walls.
The village boasts three galleries, of which Tait Gallery is one that stands out as a “must” visit.
Owner William Taylor has expanded the gallery collection in the past six years of operation to include beautiful estate and modern jewellery, ceramics, sculptures, pottery, glassware, and garden ornaments.
“We are always looking for new artists, and currently have on display works by Beatrice Bourhis, Gaynor McElroy, Svetlana Spectra, Shane McBeath, Gregg Barraclough, Pam Robinson, Ray Hill, and Zoe Wiseman,” William says.
Established artists, such as Jane Riley, Roger Heslop, Ivan Button, Debbie Lambert, Karin Werner, and Tony and Alethea Roche, also have their paintings on display.
A large selection of affordable prints, photos, and cards are an additional attraction, and national and international postage and packing are all arranged by the gallery.
Tait Gallery is at 34 Conical Hill Road. Open daily (except Wednesdays) from 10am, or by appointment.
