New gallery space opening early May 2025. Originally was going to be under the “a gallery presents” umbrella. As the concept evolved the space shifted becoming a new and exciting project as a collaboration with my wife Julia. Julia will co-direct with me and manage the day to day operations. Julia comes from an industrial design background with a passion for contemporary art with years of experience in high end retail. We are currently working together to physically bring the leased space at 21 moray place Dunedin, previously used as a music venue, up to the highest standard possible. We have an exciting list of artists that we look forward to working with, and introducing to Dunedin. New website hutchgallery.co.nz coming soon

Conceived as a two-year project, ‘a gallery’ opened in February 2011 at 393 Princes Street, Dunedin and closed in September 2012. Strategically placed south of the center of town nestled between tattoo studios, sex shops and a needle exchange. What was integral in the selection of the gallery space was that it would be able to be viewed from the street through the street level floor to ceiling windows. This would allow the artists showing to be exposed not only to viewers visiting the gallery, but also those walking past, as a gallery was to represent artists that did not fit within the commercial gallery context or the so called experimental project space’s, this would be the best way to expose a particular group of artists selected by gallery curator/manager Jay Hutchinson, artists he respected and admired and felt were not being represented in the gallery scene at the time.
