Information technology is named after Thomas Tylee, a Whanganui pioneer who was in charge of the commissariat for the 65th Regiment. The cottage was originally situated in Wilson Street, Whanganui before being moved to its present location in the early 1980s and restored. The residency at Tylee Cottage began in 1986 with the inaugural resident being photographer Laurence Aberhart who spent a year in Whanganui and since then over sixty artists have been Tylee residents, with many choosing to settle permanently in Whanganui afterwards. Lilian Ida Smith Award 2024 In 2024 the $5000 Lilian Ida Smith Award will be additional to RESIDENCY 3. Lilian Ida Smith 1920 - 1983 was a Whanganui resident who in her will instructed her estate to be divided into three equal parts to establish trusts to assist people aged 35 years and over to develop and further their interest in painting, writing and teaching music. The Sarjeant Gallery was charged with administering the painting strand of the bequest and in 1993 established the Lilian Ida Smith Award. An accomplished artist herself, sadly she never exhibited and her desire to support someone over 35 was in recognition of the constraints her father, Vivian Smith, faced in response to his experimental output as a painter. Since 1993 the award has been offered four times with the last being in 2021 with Graham Fletcher being the recipient. Current Tylee resident The current Tylee Cottage artist-in-residence is Denis O'Connor. The Sarjeant Gallery The Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui was founded through the generosity of Henry Sarjeant who in 1912 left a large sum of money - the equivalent of over $70 million in today's terms - to establish the gallery ?as a means of inspiration for ourselves and those who come after us?. The Gallery opened in 1919 and is recognised as one of the country's most important heritage buildings. The Sarjeant Collection has become one of national significance and numbers over 8500 works of New Zealand and international art, spanning 400 years. The Sarjeant Gallery Redevelopment In 2012, the Sarjeant Gallery at Queen's Park, Pukenamu - a Category I listed heritage building - was assessed as meeting only 5% of the current building code and classed as an earthquake prone building. Information technology was vacated of all staff and works in 2014. A major redevelopment project to strengthen and extend the building will see the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui, reopen at Pukenamu / Queen's Park in early 2024.
