The Depot Artspace kaupapa, “Creating an environment that encourages creating,” is brought to life through our exhibition programme where practising artists are able to attract and engage their audience in a multi-disciplinary creative space which embodies a strong sense of whanau community.

We accept exhibition proposals from practitioners of any artistic discipline, individually or in groups who fulfil the criteria outlined in our proposal form.

 

What exhibiting at the Depot means:

• One of the key components of the Depot valued by its members and visitors is the experience of whanau/community. Through both the culture of the Depot and its exhibitions, we draw people together.
• As a multi-disciplinary creative community there are opportunities for cross-pollination, collaboration and an ongoing relationship.
• Exhibiting artists are able to participate in our annual Members’ Show and any other exhibitions with a membership base.

For the Depot exhibition programme we invite:

• Exhibitions that build community and create opportunities for individuals to work together, increasing individual wellbeing, environmental and social justice.
• Exhibitions that encourage courageous leadership where artists question, take a stand, and tackle meaningful social and environmental issues.
• Exhibitions that deepen our understanding of Te Ao Māori and celebrate Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique and evolving identity.
• Exhibitions that are inclusive, people-focused, fair and welcoming to everyone, creating experiences that make a difference.
• Exhibitions that stimulate creative innovation, cutting edge art that challenges audiences, and invites interactive and engaging participation.

Please note:  While exhibition spaces in 2020 are now limited, we would still value hearing from you as from time to time spaces become available and opportunities open up.

Make sure you follow us on Facebook to stay connected with our regularly changing selection of shows and to be involved with any opportunities we might have.

Feature Wall

 

This is an exciting exhibition opportunity for artists who want to display art work/s on a single three meter wall in our front entrance area at The Depot Artspace in 2019; this independent opportunity to exhibit your art work comes as an innovative/alternative option from exhibiting in the main gallery space.

We are open to new ideas, collaborative concepts, installation and/or simple display layouts; we can help you with curation and give sound advice for self-promotion.  Any concepts you have may require additional information, support, research or technical help therefore costs are reasonable but negotiable depending on the services needed.  

We would love to hear from you and talk about your ideas, support your creative processes without the stress of needing to sell, (although this may be to your advantage) and to give our visitors a dynamic and adventurous visual experience.
