About Artspace Aotearoa New Zealand
Artspace Aotearoa is a contemporary institute for supporting visual art with civic intent in Aotearoa New Zealand. Artspace works within a city, nation and world, knitting together stories that interpret, react, and respond to these permeable borders and the ever-changing societies that exist within them. We have built an approach to our programme and organisation that seeks to care, support, and inspire, making exhibitions that both promote NZ art and actively engage with voices from elsewhere.
