Friends of Tauranga Art Gallery Committee

The committee help out regularly at exhibition openings, and support the gallery in a variety of ways. They also work hard for the Friends organising a variety of Friends-only events (as noted above) and increasingly welcoming the public to some events for a nominal fee.  Occasionally fundraisers are organised to help support the Gallery for specific needs.
