Gallery in Coromandel Town is looking for more artists.

Ed, Diann, Vaughan and Donna.

Everything is beautifully presented when you walk into this vibrant and spacious gallery space in Kapanga Road, Coromandel.

It is known as Gallery 6 and even though it only began in 2021, it has become a part of the town’s character.

People love to walk in and see what is on display from local artists. Many visitors travel to see Gallery 6.

Diann Cade, who is an acrylic artist, started Gallery 6 in 2021. She and Ed Buckett, her husband, came to Coromandel township in 2004, and Diane has become a well-known and talented artist in that time.

Once opened, Vaughan Udall also an acylic artist, joined the gallery to be one of the artists and so did Donna Scatchard who has lived in Coromandel for ten years.

The gallery hums along with 6 artists (Gallery 6) but at the moment they just have four. One artist has gone to England and for health reasons, another artist has gone to Kati Kati.

So Gallery 6 is looking for two participating artists to join them before Christmas.

“The gallery is a co-operative venture,” says Diann. “The way it works is that the artist shares the cost of rent and electricity, and shares in the setting up of the way the gallery looks.”

The art works of each artist adorn the walls of the gallery. The calibre of art is very high with lots of variety and the ambience is one of ‘Welcome to everyone’.

There is no commission collected by Gallery 6 from participating artists when their paintings or art is sold. This is a big financial advantage for an artist.

In addition, the wall space is shared equally among the participating artists as far as it is possible, as each artist has their own style and the works are all different sizes. Once a month, the entire display is rearranged. The team of Gallery 6 do this to make the gallery look altogether different. This has the effect of the space ever changing – visitors noticing different artworks highlighted by the re-arrangement, or something that was on a back wall is now on a side wall. It’s a great exercise in teamwork and a very creative experience for the artists and the visitors alike.

There is still generous space for other art such as ceramics, and craft items from other local artists. The presentation of cards individually made, prints and books is a popular go-to space for visitors and travellers.

Gallery Six is going very well. The number of visitors continues to increase and this year, 2025, has been their busiest year since they first set up the gallery

They are excited about the Coromandel Arts Tour coming up in October, Gallery 6 being in the main street of Coromandel township is like a hub for visitors to the Coromandel Open Studios Arts Tour.
