Gallery De Novo opened in 2005, the product of many years in the planning for owners Richelle Byers and Liz Fraser. Both Richelle and Liz gained degrees in Art History and went on to work extensively in galleries both locally and Internationally. After many years overseas they returned to live in Dunedin to raise their families. They became aware of the thriving Otago art scene and recognised the need for a gallery with a fresh, passionate and honest approach to art. Gallery De Novo has grown into one of Dunedin's leading galleries with an exciting and ecclectic mix of talented New Zealand contemporary artists.

Gallery De Novo is located in the heart of Dunedin city, midway between the Octagon and the historic Dunedin Railway Station, on the corner of Lower Stuart Street and Moray Place. This area has become known as the arts centre of Dunedin with numerous studios, jewellers, potters and galleries nearby. Gallery De Novo is made up of three levels of exhibition space and our large windows provide an abundance of natural light whilst also allowing our artwork to be on display 24 hours a day via the large spotlit window walls. There is an abundance of public car parking, cafes, bars and restaurants in the lower Octagon area and if you are coming to Dunedin for an event, the Regent Theatre, Fortune Theatre and Town Hall are only a few minutes walk away.
