    • Light Searches for Colour
      • Gifts from the Sea showcases art works by three Wellington women who share a deep love and respect for our south coast. Each of us draws on our creative skills to bring attention to the beauty and fragility of the underwater world. We are each conservationists at heart. Margaret Elliot Using fine pastels and pigmented oils, Margaret brings the vibrant underwater world alive from photographs she takes when she is out snorkeling in the Taputeranga Reserve. Mary Livingston has spent many years with her camera photographing our south coast. She braves all weathers to catch the mood of the blue waters that rage and seethe unpredictably, tearing sea life from their refugia. Nicole Miller has made seaweed the centre of her life. The documentary 'Seaweed, A Love Story' narrates her work to protect Wellington's kelp forests and bring the beauty of the marine world to the surface through art & storytelling.

    • Veil into the Air -Japanese Artistic Journey-
      • An exhibition exploring the theme of "Veil" through Japanese crafts, touring two venues in New Zealand. Focusing on the delicate and ephemeral nature of materials such as Japanese paper (washi), white porcelain, wool, and incense, visitors can experience a quiet world of expression where visual and sensory perceptions intertwine as if dissolving into the air. The concept of "Veil" symbolizes both concealment and revelation, boundaries and expansion. The works range from those with a lightness that seems to drift in space to others that engage the sense of touch. Through expressions woven with culture, memory, and personal experience, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective and beauty shaped by the techniques and sensibilities of Japanese artists.

    • The Art of OTOGI
      • "I feel that all the works I have created so far connect to the theme of OTOGI. Inside each being, there is a small world and a story. When I observe the forms and movements of living things, and the rhythms and connections hidden within, I sense layers overlapping like patterns, shaping the Earth itself. Though often unseen, I gently capture these 'otogi'-like moments – delicate landscapes that quietly exist all around us."

    • Two painters and a potter
      • Art is alive and well in suburban Ngaio. Fee Thompson’s studio/gallery in Ngaio is a vibrant reflection of her deeply emotive and expressive art practice.

Sam Walker is a vibrant artist whose bold, colourful creations light up every space. She is the creative force behind Sams Art House, an awesome, little art school, encouraging people to embrace their creativity. Sam always has a brush in her hand, glitter in her hair, creativity in her heart and with this exhibition hopes to inspire others to see the world in brighter hues. Aimée McLeod’s diverse ceramics include skillfully thrown functional ware and indoor/outdoor coil-built sculptures. Her Amazing Amazons represent women’s emotional strength while her sought after cute birds simulate many seen in her garden right here in Ngaio.

    • Washed Up
      • "Washed up" is a both a reference to working as a dishie in Wellington hospo for a number of years and feeling, at times, washed up during episodes of depression. During those times, my art has been a way to escape and also to find meaning and purpose through creative and playful expression. My ink drawings are visual smorgasbord - help yourself.

    • Pōneke Portals
      • Pōneke Portals is a group show featuring a series of installations inspired by portals. Rather than transporting visitors to another place or time, these portals resist the pull of elsewhere, returning attention to the here and now. The installations invite relationality with more-than-human worlds and counter-colonial ways of seeing. Each portal-based work becomes an opening—amplifying encounters in the present moment while acknowledging the past and possible futures of Pōneke and its surrounding lands.
