Artspace Aotearoa

Artspace is the leading platform for contemporary art in New Zealand Aotearoa. Artspace is dedicated to commissioning and presenting new ideas in art and culture. We are artist-centred and aim to facilitate and resource artistic inquiry within a creative, critical and non-commercial environment. Alongside a commitment to artists we endeavour to operate as a cultural hub; fuelling active engagement at a national and international level for a diverse range of communities. The central goal of Artspace is to develop and nurture artistic research. Our primary means is through the presentation of an innovative exhibition programme which allows for discursive, intelligent and risk-taking practices. The focus of Artspace is to support contemporary artists whose work makes important contributions to shaping, interpreting and reflecting the ideas of our time. This focus on research and development of ideas is realised at a national and international level.
