Can a cottage be more than just a home? At Green Gables Cottage Art Gallery, the answer is a resounding yes. Green Gables Cottage Art Gallery isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to the enduring power of art and community. This charming cottage, nestled in Howick’s beautiful Hawthornden Reserve, has a history as rich as the colors on its walls. Green Gables Cottage Art Gallery showcases the work of local artists, breathing life into this historic space. Originally a private residence built in 1937, the cottage was nearly lost. Thankfully, a heritage assessment recognized its value, leading to its purchase by the council in 2003. The Howick Art Group found its home here, transforming Green Gables into a vibrant hub of creativity. Inside, you’ll discover a diverse collection of affordable artworks. From paintings to miniatures, each piece reflects the unique talents of local artists. The cottage’s cozy rooms, once deemed too small for practical use, now provide the perfect backdrop for intimate exhibitions. The gallery is open Friday to Sunday, 10 am to 3 pm. But don’t limit yourself to the indoors. The grounds surrounding Green Gables often host outdoor exhibitions, especially during summer and autumn. Look for the colorful tents and umbrellas dotting the Hawthorndon Reserve, signaling a vibrant display of art in the open air. Green Gables Cottage Art Gallery is more than just a gallery. It’s a celebration of local talent, a testament to historical preservation, and a vibrant addition to the Howick community.
