In 2024, James Blackie opened his gallery as a permanent fixture on the Wellington waterfront - transforming the old Mojo café into a dedicated fine art space. While the gallery is new, James Blackie brings over two decades of experience as an art dealer. He represents many of the country's leading artists and works with private collectors, corporates and public collections in sourcing, commissioning or placing important artworks in exceptional collections.
Working closely with both the artist and the collector, James is able to provide a range of support. From helping you find your next artwork for your collection, or even your first, to offering valuations and fine art consultations, James will help you with your fine art requirements.
Unafraid to paint outside the lines of the conventional dealer gallery structure, James is led by his desire to celebrate the finest artists in the country through extraordinary exhibitions, whether for sale or not. This year, this model saw the gallery hold a museum-style showcase of non-selling private trust works, as well as host a charity exhibition supporting the next generation of artists.
