About Us

Herons Gallery was established by John and Elaine Campbell, in 1998 in what was originally The Supreme Court Hotel (1859). They extensively restored the dilapidated building to its original glory, and now the building houses some of the best independent exhibitions in the country. Herons houses a continuous, though ever changing show of its selected artists, and 4-5 times a year it puts on special exhibitions. In 2001 it put on a highly successful show called Masterclass, an extraordinary group exhibition of four of their artists who have been friends for 40 years. In 2008 they'll host Works in Parallel, a generation spanning show of work by father and son, Geoff Stocks and Warren Bonett.

John and Elaine have over 20 years experience in the arts, and with the enormous effort they put in to restore the building being reflected in the collection itself, Herons Gallery is a worthy port of call for anyone with an interest in visual arts.
