Tēnā koutou katoa,
After seven and a half years of operation, Sumer has made the difficult decision to close.
Since founding the gallery in Tauranga in 2018, and later establishing our programme in Tāmaki Makaurau, it has been a privilege to work with such an extraordinary group of artists and to contribute, in our own way, to the wider contemporary art landscape.
We sincerely thank all of you—artists, collectors, institutional colleagues, and supporters—for your engagement and belief in what we were building. It has meant a great deal.
While the gallery itself is closing, the relationships and conversations that have shaped Sumer will continue to carry forward.
Thank you again for your support over the years.
Ngā manaakitanga,
Dan du Bern
Director
Sumer Fine Art
