Coming of age: York Street Gallery
Timaru Art Gallery celebrates its 18 year milestone with a fitting exhibition.
Yellow gates that lead to a pumpkin orange cottage is what you will see upon visiting the York Street Gallery of Fine Art. Owned and established by sculpture artist Debbie Templeton-Page, it is an eclectic space home to an ever changing collection of works from artists around Aotearoa. Brimming with personality, the variety and quality of artworks means you are highly likely to find a piece you want to take home.
The gallery had humble beginnings as a sculpture workshop which only took up up part of the cottage. Today, it has grown and expanded to the whole building, two gallery spaces at the back of the property, and the addition of two sculptural gardens.
Debbie says she is “Privileged to have many amazing artists and friends works on display at the gallery over the years, including Nigel Brown, Barry Cleavin, Marilynn Webb, Llew Summers, and AA Deans to name a few. Some of them are no longer with us but their stunning works remain.”
To celebrate 18 years, Debbie and Matthew Williams have put together an exhibition titled fittingly, Coming of Age. Included in the exhibition is a sculpture over two metres high, plus a variety of hand-held small works made out of stone, bronze, and other materials. Don’t miss it, Coming of Age is on now and will be open until 30 June 2024. Debbie thanks all of those who support the gallery, and is thrilled to be celebrate its birthday with the exhibition.
The gallery is open Friday and Saturday 11am to 3pm, email info@yorkstreetgallery.com or call 027 634 7353 to request a viewing at 21 York Street, Seaview, Timaru.
