How Great Thou Art is an art gallery at 60 The Square, Aorangi, in the Manawatu, holding a 5.0 Google rating from a single review.
Small rural galleries live on rotation: as works sell, new pieces go up, so regulars make a habit of calling in, knowing that a visit a couple of months apart can feel like a different room. Buying through a regional gallery often means a direct line to the artist — many are local — and the person on duty can usually tell you the story behind a piece, which is half of what you take home. Browsing is genuinely welcome; no decent gallery expects a purchase on a first look. If something catches your eye, ask, because good galleries keep more work off the walls than on them.
For anyone in the Manawatu with a spare afternoon, this gallery on The Square at Aorangi is an easy place to start looking.
