What’s On at The Collaboration
We’re delighted to present Undersized — our first exhibition of the 2026 season.
Undersized is a thoughtfully curated exhibition celebrating small-scale artworks with big ideas. Bringing together artists from across Aotearoa, this collection invites you to slow down, look closely, and experience the power of detail, intimacy, and refined craftsmanship.
From intricate studies to bold miniature works, Undersized challenges the idea that impact is determined by size — proving that even the smallest pieces can leave a lasting impression.
Exhibition Dates:
17 February – 29 March 2026
Alongside the exhibition, explore our New Season Pop Up — representing over 60 collaborators from across Aotearoa.
Discover a vibrant collection of art, ceramics, jewellery, fashion, skincare, homewares, and locally made gifts. With a refreshed gallery layout and a dynamic mix of new and returning makers, this Pop Up brings together creativity, quality, and conscious shopping under one roof.
Pop Up Dates:
17 February – 29 March 2026

Anna & Philippa
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.
