Nut Point Centre

Museum/Gallery

The Nut Point was founded in October 2003 as an art Studio/Gallery by the Clay Sculptor John Allan.

Since 2005 the Centre has been organising and hosting an annual art exhibition named; ‘The Annual West Melton Art Event.’

In 2007, the Centre initiated music performances (Classical, Jazz & Theatre), taking place on most months of the year. Performances can be conducted in a unique venue, combining formal, yet a warm and friendly environment. The Centre’s activity is also harnessed onto charity events such as concerts or art auctions donating all revenues (no expenses deducted) to charity.

So far the Centre has annually supported organisations such as SPCA Canterbury, Willow bank wildlife hospital, WASPA and others.

The aim and motto of the Centre, is collaboration and coordination between the different arts and music media and their promotion in a way that is directly accessible to the community.

Since 2007 The Centre also became active in re-establishing New Zealand Native Plants and preserving their presence for future generation.
