Our first exhibition for 2026 is opening Friday 13 February, Drift celebrates the lakes, rivers, streams, harbours and coastlines that shape Aotearoa and the way we live.
Featuring works by Belinda Wilson, Kylie Rusk, Michelle McIver and Sara Langdon, Drift is a love letter to the bodies of water that define our landscape – and our memories. From quiet lake edges and winding rivers to playful shallows and open coastlines, the exhibition captures the joy, freedom and nostalgia of time spent in and around water.
Each artist brings a unique perspective to the show, interpreting water not just as a physical place, but as a space of memory, movement, calm and connection. Together, their works create a visual journey through the places where so many of our most cherished moments live.
Racheal Mayne solo exhibition.
OPENING: From 5pm Friday 13 March
Showing 13th - 18th March
Following three consecutive sold-out exhibitions, each selling out on opening night, Rachael Mayne returns with her most personal and ambitious body of work to date. Her solo exhibition, A Letter to Them.
A Letter to Them is a deeply considered body of work shaped by Racheal’s 15 years as a clinical psychologist and the people whose stories informed and shaped her creative practice. The exhibition reflects what she learned while bearing witness to trauma and hardship, alongside the extraordinary human capacity for resilience, courage, kindness and change.
Racheal's solo exhibition is going to be at a special location, which will be announced closer to the time. There will be no pre-sales so that the entire collection will be available on opening night.
A Letter To Them is supported by a curated group of partners who will help shape the opening night experience. Babylon Store joins as plant partner, Ligne Roset NZ as furniture partner, and guests will enjoy wine and bubbles from TAPI Winery.
