We were delighted to participate in the Auckland Arts Festival last month, celebrating the arts and culture of Tāmaki Makaurau and capping off the festival with Light Night - a wonderful evening of music, art and community here in Devonport.

Oyster & Moon Takeover!

This month we are excited to host Oyster Workshop in our galleries to celebrate the launch of their digital platform Oyster & Moon. This exhibition brings together a collective of Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa creatives as they reflect on how their lived experience has shaped them and their creative practice.

The Street Front Gallery has been transformed into a unique retail space complemented by stunning artworks showcased in the Central Gallery.

Oyster & Moon is open until 26 April, so come along and browse this fantastic collection of artworks, jewellery, garments and more! We look forward to seeing you in the galleries.
