The Hamish McKay Gallery opened in 1993 and represents leading artists from New Zealand and Australia.
As well as regularly exhibiting in public galleries and contemporary art spaces in New Zealand and Australia, artists represented by the gallery have increasing international reputations, participating in exhibitions in Europe and North and South America.
Located in the heart of central Wellington, Hamish McKay Gallery presents a regularly changing programme of exhibitions and installations, contributing significantly to the Australasian art scene.
In recent years the gallery has looked to broaden both its artists and its own reputation by attending the Liste Art Fair in Basel, the Frieze Art Fair in London, the New Art Dealers Alliance NADA as well as attending Fairs more locally in Australia and New Zealand.
