about us

In Devonport, New Zealand, a thriving multi-disciplinary arts centre is testimony to a clear vision, a strong philosophy of inclusiveness and accessibility, unfaltering tenacity and a large helping of community can-do.

The Depot is open and inclusive and encourages engagement in all art forms. To this end we offer a variety of facilities, services and events that both support the creative community and provide opportunities for public appreciation, such as:

• The Creative People's Centre, an arts law and resources site
• Depot Sound, a recording studio and rehearsal room 
• MORPH Magazine, an online arts and culture magazine
  
• Jam Radio, an online radio station for community and the arts
• Venues and meeting rooms

  The Ark is two weeks dedicated to taking a second look at the relationship between animals and people. Increasingly animals play a significant part in our social lives, sharing our homes, our friends, our activities, as any family member would.
  The Ark exhibition at the Depot Artspace is a celebration, a thanks giving and a reminder of the place that all animals have in our lives and the environment
  
  This is an open entry exhibition. We invite artists and animal lovers alike to enter original art exploring the above theme in any medium.
