The Nelson Suter Art Society is an organisation dedicated to nurture, develop and promote art in the region. It is a base for artists to create community, spread ideas and exhibit their work.

The McKee Gallery –located inside the Suter Art Gallery– is the home of the society, and throughout the year it houses a varied exhibition programme, artist talks and workshops.

With over 100 years of history, the NSAS continues to fulfill its purpose to support Nelson’s artistic community.
