Atkins Gallery reopened at Founders in October 2020, after a two-year break. The specialist gallery deals exclusively with Toss Wollaston watercolours and drawings of the Nelson/Tasman region, alongside artwork by a small selection of local artists including quality jewellery and ceramics. Woollaston’s works currently on display include watercolours of Tasman Bay, Mt Campbell , Mt Arthur, Lyttleton Harbour and Horoirangi. Also included are drawings, with an early sketch from Māpua and an early portrait of the famous local identity Eelco Boswijk. Gallery owner Linda Atkins said she was fortunate to have the chance to exhibit Woollaston’s artworks – one of a select few around the country to do so.

Centre of New Zealand from above.
Promotional material aimed at domestic and international tourists says the centre of New Zealand is up a hill in the centre of Nelson City with a commanding view of the Nelson Tasman area. It is sort of true, and information on the Nelson City Council’s sites both back and qualify the claims. The country’s main tourist site NewZealand.com says: “The Centre of New Zealand, on Botanical Hill at the start of the Maitai Valley, is an iconic walk in Nelson Tasman. The Centre of New Zealand is so named because it was a central survey point in the 1800s.”
