The Quest Art Space will work alongside Northland's other galleries to support local emerging and established artists, all of whom can be found in Creative Northland's newly published Northland Art Guide.
The Northland Art Guide has been put together by Creative Northland for the whole region, noting all the galleries, museums and arts based events.
The last, similar edition was a three-year brochure but will become an annual publication now, to keep up to date.
"This has been a long process gathering the information and making sure we've included all the small galleries around the region.
''Keely Quaid, from our team, created the design and we are really proud with the finished result," said Abbey Cameron, from Creative Northland.
Copies are in local galleries and art spots.
The guide will be available from Auckland Airport and at tourist spots, galleries, i-SITES, accommodation providers and libraries throughout Northland.
