Te Aratoi o Whakatū | The Suter Gallery has announced ‘Ian Scott: Painting New Zealand’, an exhibition scheduled to run in Nelson from 12 September to 6 December 2026. The announcement appears in the gallery’s August newsletter, which lists the show among its forthcoming exhibitions.
The available announcement provides no further information about the exhibition’s contents, including the number of works, the media represented, or the curatorial approach. It identifies Ian Scott as the artist and gives the exhibition’s title and dates, but does not include a biography or details about the development of Scott’s practice.
The exhibition is presented within a broader programme at The Suter. The same newsletter lists ‘Fired Foward Ceramics’, scheduled from 9 May to 10 October 2026 in the Potton Gallery, and ‘What Song is This?’, running from 27 July to 25 October in the Contemplation Gallery. It also announces ‘Seen Anew: Te Arahou The Collection’, dated 29 August, in the Old Gallery. These listings are separate from the forthcoming Ian Scott exhibition.
The Suter’s newsletter describes the institution as Te Aratoi o Whakatū | The Suter Art Gallery & Store. It gives the gallery’s address as 208 Bridge Street, Nelson 7010, New Zealand, and states that it is open seven days a week from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Entry is free, with koha appreciated. The announcement does not specify a gallery space for ‘Ian Scott: Painting New Zealand’.
The newsletter also records recent activity at the institution, including its second artist panel evening, ‘Aratoi: Through the Lens’, and the launch of the Nelson Arts Festival 2026. Those events are noted separately from the exhibition announcement. ‘Ian Scott: Painting New Zealand’ is scheduled in Nelson from 12 September through 6 December 2026.
