Artists & Collaborators

Meet the artists, designers, makers, and small businesses that make The Collaboration a vibrant creative community. Connected through a shared passion for creativity, craftsmanship, and meaningful connection, our collaborators represent a diverse range of practices from fine art and contemporary craft to fashion, jewellery, homewares, skincare, food products, and design.

Each collaborator brings their own unique story, creative journey, and perspective. By choosing to support independent artists and small businesses, you are helping sustain local creativity, nurture entrepreneurship, and strengthen creative communities across Taranaki, Aotearoa New Zealand, and beyond.

Through our Meet the Collaborator series, you can discover the people behind the products and artworks featured in our gallery and online store. Learn about their inspiration, creative processes, favourite collections, and the values that guide their work. These stories offer a deeper connection to the pieces you purchase and the people who create them.

The Collaboration is more than a gallery or retail space. It is a platform that celebrates creativity, champions independent makers, and creates opportunities for artists, artisans, designers, and entrepreneurs to share their work with new audiences.

Whether you are looking to discover emerging artists, explore the work of established creatives, find locally made products, or connect with the stories behind your purchases, our Artists & Collaborators collection is the perfect place to start.

Explore the people, stories, and creative practices that make The Collaboration a truly unique destination for art, design, and locally made products.
