Where to look at art in New Zealand

    "Te Tuhi is a space that has hosted an amazing array of contemporary exhibitions but still manages to distance itself from the swanky art vibe which can be off putting to the wider community. Not only is their main gallery space accessible to the general public but they pride themselves in creating a space which encourages community participation and engagement. This is a community space with heart and soul, this is what a centre for the arts is all about."

    "Perhaps one of the more accessible art spaces in Auckland, the Papakura Gallery draws from its local roots and hold it’s own in the art world. It may be one of the smaller spaces around but I always leave the gallery feeling more inspired then after any other gallery visit. As a Papakura girl at heart I can’t speak more highly of this little space and over the years I have seen it grow into the amazing gallery that it is today #proud."

    "I have certainly been to my fair share of exhibition openings at Artspace and even as a poor student it was never the free food and wine that brought me back. Ok so maybe that played a tiny roll in it. Artspace time and time again blows my mind. I love walking into an exhibition which is going to challenge the way I look at the world, the way I feel about life, the way I smell the roses. This place cultivates innovative art practices and promotes risk taking, which in my books is what art is all about. Push your boundaries, go and check out some thought provoking and perhaps slightly a little left of centre art."

    "Generally as a rule of thumb when a gallery is a little hard to find it’s worth looking for. That rule applies for Two Rooms, hidden on a side street just off Great North Road it doesn’t seem like the type of place to get your art fix. Looks can be deceiving, we all know that. The first exhibition I saw here was the stunning photographs of Frank Schwere as part of the Festival of Photography, if you are in to photography then head to google and check him out. I love going to a gallery space and feeling like its a second home, space to contemplate and to pace back and forth. Two Rooms is a second home and never fails to get the brain ticking over."
