Art Box Gallery began as an initiative to help Christchurch artists following the devastating 2011 earthquake. From the outset our mission was to provide a venue where affordable New Zealand art could be shown in a relaxed and friendly environment. We were fortunate in having a modern purpose-built facility which served as Beverley Frost's studio.
Over ten years on Art Box Gallery is well-established as 'the little gallery with a lot of art'. We have a reputation for friendly and relaxed service along with the benefit of on-site parking. If you live in Christchurch or you are visiting the city do come and see us at Loftus Street in Papanui. Our opening hours are currently Tuesday to Friday 11:00am to 4:00pm and Saturday 11:00am to 2:00pm. We are also able to provide home and workplace visits, something that has proved rather popular with art lovers.
It is also the case that the web and social media are becoming more important as conduits from gallery to art enthusiasts. Our event to celebrate ten years of Art Box had to be held as an entirely online function last year due to the Covid 19 situation. What is becoming increasingly evident is that art lovers will enthusiastically buy original paintings online if they have confidence in the gallery. We are flattered that a growing number of purchasers have never set foot in Art Box because they live in other parts of the country, or even overseas.
So if you can come in you will be treated to a great selection of New Zealand art and a special level of service. However, if you are far away do not despair. We can still help to fulfil your passion for art, even if you live in a different country. At Art Box we are experienced in receiving payment from overseas and in the safe dispatch of works to customers in the U.K, United States, Australia, & elsewhere.
