A free art gallery and creative centre at 1 Ponsonby Road, in a heritage building that the website places in the heart of Ponsonby. The exhibition spaces show a rotating programme of work by local and emerging artists, and entry is free to everyone. Artists who want to exhibit apply through an annual exhibition call out. The centre also runs courses taught by practising artists, with hands-on learning for beginners and for people who already have a practice. Talks, workshops and short projects run through the year, and the heritage spaces can be hired for workshops, hui, meetings, film screenings, launches and performances.
The website invites people to sign up for the monthly newsletter, which covers upcoming exhibitions, events and open days. For a visitor in Ponsonby or Grey Lynn who wants to see contemporary local work at no cost, or to try a creative course, this is the place to start.
