Free Isn’t Free
Your support keeps The Suter alive and free for everyone in our region.
Every exhibition, school visit, and open door depends on people like you. As a charitable trust, The Suter relies on community generosity to bridge the gap between council funding and the true cost of running a free public gallery.
There are many ways to make a difference — through donations, sponsorship, joining as a Friend, leaving a legacy, or volunteering your time. However you choose to give, you’re helping keep art, learning, and connection alive in Nelson Tasman.
