A Friday wind‑down with a difference. 

Step away from the week and into a space filled with bold, thought‑provoking artwork. Whether you're catching up with familiar faces or meeting new ones, this month's art gathering offers a relaxed and inspiring start to your weekend.

The Incubator Creative Hub opens its doors for another of our monthly evening events – expect live music, a licensed bar, generous grazing platters from Gate Pa New World, and a line‑up of four fresh exhibitions launching on the same night.

This month's programme spans ceramics, painting, kinetic sculpture, and a deeply moving collaborative project exploring the experiences of those living with dementia and their carers.

At The Incubator, art is not a passive experience. It sparks conversation, invites reflection, and strengthens community.
We look forward to welcoming you.

What You Will Experience: 

At the Incubator Gallery we have Time In Motion – The Kinetic Art of Ian Howell. — 20 moving sculptures across four distinct "worlds": Nature, Machine, Radiant, and Performance. Watch gears weave, hands dance, and time take on a rhythm of its own.

The Peoples Gallery we take great pride in presenting – Artful Mind; Dementia Tauranga’s annual awareness exhibition, created to challenge the stigma surrounding dementia and celebrate the people behind the diagnosis.  Art has a way of finding what memory leaves behind.

Drop in to The Pot House Ceramic Gallery to cast your eye over The Kin God Exhibition – A group show by local potters who have created guardian figures to watch over our brand-new tabletop kiln. 

Imprint Gallery has invited renowned local artist Dorren McNeill who at age 97 as part of the Young at Heart Festival is sharing her work with us all with an exhibition called Young At Art.
