The Dowse Art Museum is a municipal art gallery in Lower Hutt, New Zealand.[1]
Opening in 1971 in the Lower Hutt CBD,[2] The Dowse occupies a stand-alone building adjacent to other municipal facilities. The building was completely remodelled in 2013.[3] The Dowse's holdings generally focus on New Zealand artists of both national and local significance.
The Dowse Art Museum is named after Mayor Percy and Mayoress Mary Dowse, both of whom died prior to the museum opening. Percy Dowse served as the mayor of Hutt City from 1950 to 1970. He was a firm believer in the principle of having physical, social, and cultural facilities in modern cities and he initiated a building phase in the city that saw the construction of landmark buildings such as the War Memorial Library, the Lower Hutt Town Hall, and the Ewen Bridge. He championed the addition of an art gallery to the building spree. His wife, Mary Dowse, was the first president of the Hutt Valley National Council of Women.[4] She was also an ardent supporter of the arts. She teamed up with Elizabeth Harper from The Hutt Art Society, and the duo lobbied the City Council. They succeeded in their endeavor when, in 1963, the Council agreed to provide space for an art gallery. The gallery was originally housed in an extension of the War Memorial Library but after Mary died in a road accident in 1964 the City Council made a unanimous decision to honor her by constructing a new building for the art gallery. The museum was only partially completed when Percy died in 1970.[5]
Holdings include national figures such as Ralph Hotere, Colin McCahon, Don Peebles and Gordon Walters[18] as well as locally connected, nationally significant, artists as Rangi Hetet,[2] Rangimārie Hetet,[19] Gordon Crook and Hariata Ropata-Tangahoe. There have been strong exhibitions of modern Maori and Pacific artists and issues.[20][21] The Dowse has a bust of Carmen Rupe by Paul Rayner[22][23] and significant collections of jewelry by Alan Preston.[24][25]
