More about us

The Quarry Arts Centre is a community facility dedicated to the pursuit, development and display of creative practice.

The Quarry Arts Centre has been serving the local community for more than four decades by positively promoting growth in the arts; providing professional artists with studio space; running creative workshops; housing a shop, gallery and cafe; as well as being an inviting venue for local community events.

Visitors will find a friendly and welcoming atmosphere as they wander in the idyllic surroundings. They are invited to meet the artists at work in their studios; see the current exhibition at the Yvonne Rust Gallery; and relax in the beautiful grounds surrounded by sculpture and outdoor art.

The Quarry Arts Centre occupies the site of a former quarry where towering bush-clad cliffs embrace a village-like collection of diverse architecture. Open to visitors every day, the Quarry Arts Centre is easily accessed by a 10 minute stroll from central Whangarei and has ample on-site car parking.

The Quarry Art Centre is directed by the Northland Craft Trust, a registered charitable entity of Whangarei since 1982.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
