Kim Nelson Retrospective

12-27 September - register for the opening now 

Kim Nelson was an outstanding and highly accomplished artist, an incredible community organiser and contributor, and a legend of the Australian arts scene.

2025 marks ten years since his passing - a terrible loss still keenly felt by the countless artists, art lovers, and people who knew and loved him and his work.

In September 2025, the Kim Nelson Retrospective at Tyger will feature works never seen before in a gallery by this incredible artist.

It's going to be a landmark show, and may be your last ever chance to buy and own a Kim Nelson original.

Please register to join us in Yass on Saturday 13 September for the grand opening of the show.

Went for a look and ended up acquiring a beautiful piece of art. The customer service was amazing and so helpful.

“The piece we purchased was not on display but brought out for us to look at … which we fell in love with and subsequently left with.

“I have learnt to look at art works in a different light with the assistance of the gallery staff - ventured out of my comfort zone”

A local gem! We cannot recommend this gallery highly enough - local Australian artists sold by locals. This is a 'must do' if you are visiting the region. We bought a beautiful artwork and the customer service has been amazing. We will definitely be back!”
