The Port Elizabeth Art Gallery was built in 1956 and named after King George VI in line with the city's English history and its founding fathers. The gallery can be located in Rink Street, although now under another name, next to one of Port Elizabeth's oldest grave sites and at the juncture of two roads, Brick Makers Valley Road winding down the Baakens River valley below the old Fort, and the other through Western Road down the steep hill which becomes Whites Road past the Donkin Memorial and old St Peter's Church, which becomes a T junction onto Main Street.
