Within the historic Gables Colonial Hospital is the North Taranaki Art Society Gallery.

Built in 1848, The Gables is the last of four hospitals built in the North Island as part of Governor George Grey’s policy to assimilate Māori into Pākehā culture. The Gables was erected at Te Henui and it became known as the ‘Native hospital'. Now, the gallery hosts an ever-changing programme of artworks, all of which are for sale, and there are also community classes available. More classes and workshops such as after school art classes and adult workshops are held in the studio facilities.
