The Art Vault, formerly known as the Art Bank is not a public Art Gallery.
Art Vault has the same manager and volunteer staffing as before and very much the same ethos.
We are proud of the huge number of creative people in Golden Bay. The Art Vault is for artists and artisans to showcase our region as an art destination.
We love that Takaka???s Main Street, has such a variety of galleries and caf?(c)s supporting this creativity.

Internationally recognised, New Zealand landscape artist Marion Towns has a creditable list of major exhibitions behind her and her works sell to art lovers throughout the world.

The chalk pastel medium Marion works with is used with skill and her choice of colours epitomises the New Zealand summer. Her paintings fall into the Impressionist category - mostly landscapes and seascapes - to which she occasionally adds the female nude form very cleverly emphasising the contours and curves of both.
