SUMMARY:The Space of a Pause – Group Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nThe Space of a Pause brings together a group of women artists whose work invites a slowing down\, a moment of stillness\, breath\, and attention. Across painting\, textile\, photography and object-based practice\, the exhibition offers works that create room rather than demand it\, encouraging the viewer to pause\, linger\, and look more closely. \nFor these artists\, making becomes a deliberate act of stillness and quiet. Created alongside lives shaped by care\, movement\, and change – and for many\, the presence of children – the studio becomes a space to step out of urgency and into focus. Within this space\, light settles\, forms are held\, and quiet gestures carry meaning. \nRooted in ways of seeing contemporary life in Aotearoa\, the exhibition suggests that a pause is not an absence\, but something actively made. Here\, stillness becomes an invitation\, to take space\, to notice what is often overlooked\, and to inhabit a moment where form\, feeling\, and attention are allowed to rest. \nGroup name: In Quiet Company\nIn Quiet Company is a small collective of female artists based in Aotearoa\, brought together through a shared stage of life\, balancing creative practice alongside family and work. The group connects online\, sharing works in progress\, ideas and support\, and is united by a shared love of making and continuing creative practice through busy and changing seasons.\nWorking across painting\, textile\, photography and object-based work\, In Quiet Company formed to create opportunities to show together and support one another’s creative lives. \nNames of Artists:\n1. Rhianna May\n2. Rose Ackland\n3. Hollie Teutscher\n4. Jessica Crowe\n5. Rose Kennedy\n6. Lisa Billing / Heymaker Studio \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World – This exhibition launch preview is Friday 13th of March 2026 – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Tauranga Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome. On display at The People’s Gallery Toi Ka Rere from the 14th of March to the 4th of April. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Revival an Exhibition by Te Manaia Jennings
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nTe Manaia Jennings explores themes of freedom\, renewal\, and liberation through abstract realism. This exhibition presents powerful wolves\, delicate butterflies\, and women intimately entwined with nature\, often accompanied by birds\, stars\, or butterflies emerging from within. Together\, these motifs evoke strength\, transformation\, and the untamed spirit of the natural world. Each work reflects a journey of growth\, healing\, and the quiet liberation that comes with embracing change. \nThrough her practice\, Jennings invites viewers into a realm where nature and spirit converge\, celebrating the profound freedom found in transformation. These works were created over an extended period\, often guided by intuition rather than intention. She speaks of being drawn instinctively to certain colours\, forms\, or subjects without fully understanding why. Over time\, however\, a unifying narrative revealed itself\, a return to self\, and a rediscovery of inner freedom and wholeness. This awakening mirrors Jennings’ own journey over recent years\, shaped deeply by her faith in Jesus. \nAs the exhibition took form\, Jennings found herself asking: What is the story here? What is this exhibition called? The word that consistently emerged was revival. Biblically\, revival is defined as restoring to life\, breathing life anew\, and strengthening what has grown weary. This concept lies at the heart of the exhibition. \nBefore fully committing to art\, Jennings aspired to become a psychologist. She holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Psychology and has worked in children’s mental health within school settings. While she found this work deeply meaningful\, her calling to paint never faded\, only intensifying with time. \nThroughout her life\, Jennings has navigated significant personal challenges\, including struggles with mental health and chronic physical pain resulting from severe congenital scoliosis. There were moments when perseverance felt impossible. Yet it is precisely in these moments that revival is found. Life is often demanding\, but within us exists the capacity to rise\, to heal\, and to be made new and strong once again. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World. \nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 13th of March 2026 – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Tauranga Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome. \nOn display at The Incubator Gallery from the 14th of March to the 5th of April. \nFind out more
