With the growing reputation of Peter Jean Caley the company was formed to help organise his
exhibits and promote print media of his work.
The Gallery was moved to Otira New Zealand 2002. A very small Rail road community based in
a beautiful mountain valley between Christchurch (South Island east coast) and Hokitika /
Greymouth Sth Island west Coast. Near the very famous Arthur's Pass at the bottom of the Otira
Gorge and Viaduct.
This was entirely based on Peter and his Business partner Tony Caley to help develope Peter's
art and cultural links. As his Maori descendants came from the region.
The gallery in a renovated town hall, grew very fast and was a favoured destination by
international and local visitors to view his magnificent Private collection of Maori portraits and
cultural paintings and remarkably painted building and restoration.
After 2 1/2 years it was decided to move the gallery to Geraldine in South Canterbury closer to
his Marae and tribal base also due to an increasing demand for Peters international
appearances.
The new look Gallery in Geraldine opened in October 2004 with a large 300 head dinner
beautifully put together in a Marquee in the park provided by Continental catering. Attended by
government Local body and dignitaries from all over New Zealand. Sponsor from David Fox
-Ngai Tahu Corporation ( Peters Tribe) Montana , Fonterra, Downies wholesale flowers with
local Timaru district council and people from our community.
The Gallery has continued its success to this day in the small township of Geraldine - being the
main hwy to Tekapo, Mt Aoraki (Mt Cook) and Queenstown. This mountain is Peter's tribal
sacred Mountain)
It is a popular stop for both International and new Zealand visitors to view the permanent
Museum display of art and carving.
Caley Art Gallery has expanded into reproductions of Peter's work and hosted international
exhibits in Florence, Dubai, America and has sold paintings and prints to over 20 countries.
