Two4nine is an art gallery at 249 Edmonton Rd in Te Atatū South, in west Auckland. It has a 4.8 rating on Google and a Facebook page.
A good gallery does more than hang pictures. It chooses its work with care, labels it clearly and is glad to talk about the artists. Smaller neighbourhood galleries are often the best places to see local painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture, and to buy an original piece without the formality of a big dealer. On a visit, take your time, read the labels and ask about anything that catches your eye, since staff can usually explain the medium, the artist's background and how to look after the work. Regulars know that exhibition openings and changeover days are when you see the freshest work, and that browsing without buying is always welcome. If you are thinking of a purchase, ask about framing and whether you can take the piece home to try it on your wall.
For anyone in Te Atatū and the wider west Auckland area, Two4nine on Edmonton Rd is an easy place to see local art.
