In September 2004, Jacqueline Bullmore, widow of the late Edward Bullmore, gifted approximately 300 works to the Tauranga Art Gallery Trust.
A major retrospective exhibition, EDWARD BULLMORE A Surrealist Odyssey, was held at the Gallery in 2008, featuring some of these plus works from private family collections.
The Tauranga Art Gallery Trust is responsible for the Tauranga City Council Art Collection. The focus of the collection is on both contemporary and historical works that have links with the region either through content or the artist.
Art works have been acquired through purchases and gifts, and include works by Charles Blomfield, W.M.Hodgkins, John Gully, Trevor Pye and Elizabeth Grainger.
Tauranga Art Gallery is a public art gallery. The Gallery does not have an acquisitions budget to purchase works of art, but the Tauranga Art Gallery Trust has been gifted works by artists and their families for the benefit of the western Bay of Plenty community.
The Tauranga Art Gallery Trust's collection includes works by Edward Bullmore, Nigel Brown, Susan Wilson, Mark Braunias, Arthur Dagley, Jim Cooper, Robin White, Betty Wishart, Don Binney, Tracey Williams, Vanetta Miles, Yvonne Paine, Irene O'Neill and a work by John Gully.
