A Family Owned New Zealand Business Since 1975

50 Years in business is a big milestone for any company. The Harris family owners and staff of Gordon Harris are extremely proud that their business has not only survived five decades but grown from humble beginnings to become NZ’s largest and best known art supplies specialist.

Gordon and Ann Harris established their art supplies business in a small shop at Greenwoods Corner in Auckland in 1975. Gordon already had many years of experience supplying the needs of professional design, advertising and art studios. He believed that an outlet that supplied quality artists' materials to the general public as well as professionals was required.
