A not-for-profit community art gallery upstairs in Lopdell House at 418 Titirangi Road, the 1920s Art Deco building above Titirangi village at the edge of the Waitākere Ranges. Entry is free, and the gallery is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Sunday. It hosts around 20 exhibitions a year, mixing solo and group shows, and an annual Emerging Artist Awards. The popular cash-and-carry Christmas show draws a lot of interest, and for one month a year the walls go to young artists from local schools and groups. Visitors can climb the sweeping staircase or ride the original lift, and the rooftop has sea and bush views. Te Uru Art Gallery and McCahon House Museum are close by. To exhibit, email gallery@upstairs.org.nz.
