The Quarry Arts Centre

Welcome to the Quarry Art Centre in Whangarei. You are most welcome to stroll through our beautiful grounds, visit our artists’ studios, Yvonne Rust Gallery and earth building site or browse the Co-op craft shop.

Entry is free and you don’t even have to be into art, bring the family up for a picnic by the waterfall or why not take a bushwalk at the Coronation Reserve up to the old Māori pa site. The Quarry is a unique arts precinct set in the grounds of the former Waldrons Quarry. It is now home to a number of arts organizations including the Northland Woodturners and Woodworkers Association, the Quarry Craft Co-op, Northland Craft Trust and the Te Kowhai Print Trust . The Quarry’s facilities include a community gallery and a range of studios and spaces for arts activities. There are over 10 working artists with studios on site

While you’re here why not take a bushwalk at the Coronation Reserve up to the old Māori pa site.

We also stock quality clay and art supplies including clay tools, stained glass, Windsor Newton paints, brushes, glazes and stains. There is 30% off for all members (not including clay and glass).
