October 25, 2020A New Look!
As the Welcome Swallow Gallery and Gifts continues to build its presence and strength in the local community and beyond, the Trustees have sought to invest in a better defined imagery that reflects our growth and confidence in serving the interests of children who face incredibly tough lives.

October 15, 2020Frances Hodgkins @ Welcome Swallow
Frances Mary Hodgkins is arguably New Zealand’s leading expatriate artist. Her works capture the spirit of an era greatly influenced by Impressionism, en plein air painting, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism - from Matisse to the German impressionists. During her time in Britain she became one of the leaders of the English avant-garde movement. She travelled extensively and evolved her style as seen here, from impressionistic watercolours to her increasingly fluid graphit...

September 26, 2020The Jurisich Experience - review
In May 2019, the Welcome Swallow Gallery opened a new exhibition entitled celebration. Right in the middle of the main hall, hung directly from the ceiling were several dozen barely visible thin wires that each supported strong curved wire, seemingly arranged at random, none of them touching the floor. It was truly disruptive; dramatic. It was not 'wall-hung' art. It was untitled. And it was the work of Gaye Jurisich. Ever original, Gaye's work paced the space aroun...
