The spectacular building which houses the Forrester Gallery could be considered the finest work in the collection. Its history dates back to 1882 when the Bank of New South Wales purchased a plot of land next to the rival Bank of Otago, now the National Bank. The building served as a bank and manager's residence until 1979 when the Oamaru Borough Council acquired the site in exchange for a suitable location in the central business district. The local council had been searching for a suitable location for a gallery since 1965 when retired architect and former mayor, John M. Forrester left a substantial bequest for the founding of a local gallery. After significant restoration including earthquake strengthening, the Forrester Gallery was opened in 1983. Today the Forrester Gallery, which is funded and administered by the Waitaki District Council, offers the Waitaki and wider region a varied and exciting exhibition programme, houses a growing collection of artworks significant to the region, and stands as an icon of Oamaru's unique whitestone historic district. The gallery supports local and regional artists and offers national and international exhibitions in all media, which reflect and challenge community interest. The Forrester Gallery is registered as a Category 1 site by the Historic Places Trust.

The gallery's vision is to function as a professional art space and to promote exhibitions that relate to the context of its location and the community. It provides a platform for emerging local artists to exhibit and sell their artwork whilst offering them the opportunity to develop an understanding of professional art practice.

Te Tuhi works actively within the community of Auckland, providing a conduit for audience engagement and participation in the visual arts, underpinned by innovative exhibitions, education and associated programmes. In addition to running the contemporary art gallery, the Centre serves as a focal point for the community as an events venue and meeting place for our many users and community groups.

The Gallery specialises in fine contemporary and period New Zealand Art. In 1988 the Warwick Henderson Gallery moved from Auckland city central to our new purpose built Gallery in Parnell. We represent many prominent NZ artists including Fatu Feu'u, Robyn Kahukiwa, Philippa Blair, Mark Wooller, Alexander Bartleet, Rozi Demant, Viky Garden, Annette Isbey, Justin Summerton, Amy Melchior, Robyn Gibson, April Shin, Jenny Rendall, Joanna Upperton, Nick Wall, Tyrone Layne and Hanuei Kim.

The gallery provides opportunities for artists in New Zealand to work in a professional art studio space and showcase their artwork to the public. The gallery also aims to nurture interaction between realism artists locally and internationally.

I beleive we are very lucky to have this historic treasure here in Picton that is currently registered as the 9th oldest ship in the world, older than the cutty sark and star of india...(just not as well known)! The Edwin Fox is also the last remaining convict ship that took convicts to Australia, the last surviving ship of The Dunbar Shipping Fleet, once the largest shipping fleet in the world and The Edwin Fox is also registered by The World Ships Trust as the oldest merchant ship in The world!!! It has been around the world a reported 34 times and has played a very important and versatile role in history...convicts, soldiers to the Crimean war, emmigrants to NZ, Chinese to Cuba to work the Cane Fields, Tea and Beer routes between India and London, opium to San Francisco, its seen births, deaths, storms and disease!! The Story of the saving of The Edwin Fox is amazing in itself being brought for a shilling by Mr Norman Brayshaw...saving it from a watery grave....come and read the tales for yourself.....
