Jonathan Grant Galleries were established in 1984, specializing mainly in 19th and 20th century English and continental paintings. They also deal in antipodean painting and historical New Zealand watercolors. Some more recent New Zealand artists found at Jonathan Grant include Jan Nigro (painting), Josephine Davis, Ion Brown and Ken Kendall (bronze sculpture). The Galleries also provide a specialized conservation and restoration service, valuations, an art consulting service, and they make gold-leafed frames. In 1988 the galleries were expanded to include Artists Gallery next door, specializing in contemporary New Zealand work, and Dilana Artists' Rugs, a permanent display in "the Basement".

A large statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, flanked by two other Bodhisattvas, stand inside the temple. Contact the abbess, Master Chang Shuen, for service times. Visitors are welcome. Most services are in Chinese (Mandarin), and there is also an English session. Services are generally followed by a free vegetarian lunch.

Artspace dates from 1987 and is well known in Auckland for its avant garde approach to art. At a time when opportunities to exhibit were restricted to either public or dealer galleries, Artspace allowed an alternative venue for curators and artists to explore new avenues and ideas, new ways of seeing, and new approaches. The gallery functions as a charitable trust with funding from Creative New Zealand, and has supported and promoted many emerging and experimental New Zealand artists, as well as overseas visitors.

The Cathedral functions as the center for the Anglican Church in Auckland, and also for the Parish of Parnell.
