Christchurch Art Gallery

Very excited about 2 pieces of work we’re about to undertake with Jenny Harper and her team at Christchurch Art Gallery. We will be working with the gallery on supplementing their existing audience research in a rolling programme over the next (hopefully!) few years as well as spending some time with the whole team on some strategic planning work. I can’t say too much more at the moment but suffice to say that it will not only be hugely rewarding but a lot of fun too. Christchurch Art Gallery is already punching way above its weight and we hope to be able to lift them still further. As is always the way, it is the most forward thinking organisations that can see the benefit of strategic change while those that really need it are often last to tackle any issues.

Also can’t wait to see the Ron Mueck exhibition... I hear it’s stunning! It will be interesting to see how the city is faring after the earthquake. I read there are still a few minor aftershocks 2 months after the initial quake... Terrifying. Great to see how the people of Christchurch have pulled together though when the rest of the country seems to think it yesterday’s news. Go Christchurch.
