Depot Artspace Gallery is opening this Saturday!

The Team from Depot Artspace

Looking forward to seeing our community in person again!

We are overjoyed to be reopening Depot Galleries to the public this Saturday from 11am, with two fabulous exhibitions to view along with a number of works from our stockroom.

Make sure to check out PulseArt's exhibition in the Street Front Gallery which will only be up for an extra week or so ending on 30 November.
Hana Carpenter's exhibition in Central Gallery is also not to be missed and ends on 8 December.

For the safety of our community, artists, and Depot Artspace whānau, please wear a mask, scan in, sanitise your hands at the door, and keep two metres apart from other visitors. There will be a 4 person limit on visitors at any one time, but please don’t let this deter you from visiting – if there is a short wait, we are surrounded by a number of lovely cafes that are serving contactless coffee just down the road!

Our new gallery hours:
Tues – Fri: 10am – 3.30pm
Saturdays: 11am – 3pm
Sun & Mon: closed

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
