Between fibre and Form— Exhibition 2026
We’re delighted to present Fibre — a curated exhibition celebrating the diverse and evolving language of fibre as an art form.
Bringing together artists from across Aotearoa, Fibre explores materiality, texture, process, and storytelling through contemporary and traditional fibre-based practices. From woven and stitched works to sculptural forms and tactile installations, this exhibition highlights the beauty, complexity, and emotional resonance found within handmade processes.
These works invite visitors to slow down, look closely, and experience the quiet power of fibre beyond craft — honouring connection, labour, memory, and creativity through thread, textile, and form.
This is art with purpose.
Art that sparks conversation.
Art that rethinks the future.

Our
Goal
The Collaboration is a popup – but not just any popup. We are a movement celebrating the talent of local artists and small businesses. We collaborate and support each other to grow, recognize success and provide opportunities and mentoring to our emerging and aspiring talent.

Creating new opportunities for small businesses and artists to grow. With a strong focus on local people, products and art, our talented group have created a unique shopping experience. We are inclusive of all NZ innovators, creators, entrepreneurs and artists, from start ups and aspiring artists through to experienced and established business owners and artists. We aim to tautoko (support) each other to grow as business and as people by sharing knowledge and experiences.
Pop in to meet the artist, the maker or the creator and purchase knowing you are supporting local and NZ people achieve their dreams.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsor Primo we can connect our collaborators together to create community connections and Collaborations.
