Founded in 2016, Arthaus is an artist-run, non-profit gallery at 228 Orakei Road in Remuera, set at the entrance to Orakei Bay Village. Resident artists work from studios in the building. The central gallery hosts exhibitions, installations, experiments and events by resident and guest artists. The space is described as affordable and flexible, giving emerging and established artists room to use it as they need.
The gallery is open from 11am to 3pm, Wednesday to Sunday, when an exhibition is on view. Because artists run the space, the shows come from the people who work in its studios and the guests they invite, so what is on the walls changes with the artists. Arthaus is a place to see work that is still being made, and to see how a community of artists uses a shared space.
