ReCreate — Sustainable Exhibition 2026
We’re delighted to present ReCreate — our annual sustainable exhibition.
ReCreate brings together a curated collection of artists from across Aotearoa who are reimagining materials and redefining the way we think about making. Through recycled, reclaimed, and repurposed elements, each work tells a story of renewal, creativity, and conscious design.
From salvaged timber and found objects to mixed media and reworked materials, this exhibition invites you to look deeper — to see beauty in transformation and possibility in what was once discarded.
This is art with purpose.
Art that sparks conversation.
Art that rethinks the future.

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.
