SUMMARY:Just Bring Yourselves - An Exhibition by Jennie Holdsworth
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nJust Bring Yourselves is a collection of mixed media paintings exploring domestic interiors\, chairs\, vessels and lamps in warm\, muted tones. \nThrough paint\, collage and layered surfaces\, the works reflect on warmth\, welcome and the spaces we return to. A chair at a table asks who sat there before\, or who it might be waiting for. Lamps\, vessels and familiar rooms hold the feeling of home. These are paintings about what a place or an object can hold. \nThe aesthetic behind this work was inherited before it was chosen. It comes from growing up in a home with a particular kind of warmth\, and from three generations sharing a similar way of making a home. The Dutch call it gezellig; a feeling that is difficult to translate but easy to recognise. \nJennie Holdsworth is a mixed media artist and Visual Art educator based in Tauranga\, Aotearoa New Zealand. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Elam School of Fine Arts\, University of Auckland\, and a Graduate Diploma in Teaching. Her work has sold to private collectors across New Zealand. Just Bring Yourselves is her first solo exhibition. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World\nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 31st July\, 5.30pm – 7pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga Everyone is welcome. Licensed Bar available \nOn display at The Incubator Gallery from 1st August to the 22nd of August. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Windows and Raw Presence
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology\nBachelor of Creative Industries and Te Ara o Mauao Gallery are pleased to present two graduate solo exhibitions for 2026\, featuring Anitarewa Robertson and Kristina Rachacova. \nWorking across sculpture\, painting\, installation and ceramics\, Robertson and Rachacova examine the ways material holds memory\, identity and lived experience. While their practices emerge from distinct perspectives\, both artists engage process as a form of enquiry\, using material as a site of transformation\, connection and reflection. \nIn Windows\, Anitarewa Robertson assembles found domestic and building materials into sculptural installations that draw on fragments of childhood\, place and memory. Through acts of collecting\, reconfiguring and layering\, discarded materials become carriers of personal and collective histories\, revealing networks of connection between people\, objects and place. \nKristina Rachacova’s ceramic vessels and paintings respond to systems of hierarchy and constructed ideals of perfection through an embodied exploration of the feminine. Rooted in gesture and touch\, her work embraces complexity\, adaptability and cyclical change\, where clay becomes a material language for resilience\, intimacy\, care and transformation. \nTogether\, these exhibitions present two emerging artists whose materially driven practices invite audiences to consider how objects\, surfaces and processes can hold and communicate the complexities of memory\, identity and belonging. \nFind out more
