More than a gallery
We’re a creative collective of artists and makers at the heart of Rotorua’s creative scene, proudly sharing handmade work inspired by collaboration and connection.
Our purpose is to showcase the diversity of our makers while maintaining a cohesive, welcoming aesthetic that feels true to our shared values.
45+ local artists.
One creative collective.
We’re a community of makers who value connection, creativity, and the shared energy that comes from working alongside other artists.
