Description //
Welcome to BIG SMALL, one of The Collaboration’s most anticipated annual exhibitions.
This vibrant curated showcase brings together an exciting selection of Aotearoa artists, each exploring scale, detail, colour, and contemporary expression in their own unique way.
BIG SMALL celebrates the playful push and pull between large and small works — intimate details contrasted with bold statements — creating a dynamic viewing experience that has become a favourite in our exhibition calendar.
Join us this summer and immerse yourself in a colourful, uplifting, and thought-provoking collection that highlights the incredible creativity of artists from across the motu.
