Gallery directors John Gow and Gary Langsford have been at the helm of Gow Langsford since it opened 31 years ago, and have been extremely dedicated to the arts in New Zealand. This was recognised as they were both awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit as part of the New Year Honour List (see the full list here) for their services to the arts. On 2nd May, they were both formally awarded this distinguished title at an intimate Investiture ceremony held by the New Zealand Governor-General Patsy Reddy at Government House, Auckland.
