Since 2007 COCA has developed a strategic plan to reposition the gallery in the 21st century. Following a review of our collection policy, 100 selected works are to be de-accessioned. The opportunity to purchase these is made exclusively to members of COCA and Friends of the Christchurch Art Gallery from 23rd July until September 2009.

This is an opportunity to acquire quality artworks, spanning a period of 117 years. Artists include: Mark Braunias, E. F. Temple, Neil Frazer, Michael Smither, Rudolf Gopas, Cecil Kelly, Colin Lovell-Smith, Olivia Spencer-Bower, Eileen Mayo, Juliet Peter and selected historical works.

Works are available to view at the gallery.
