SUMMARY:Artful Wāhine - Tauranga Girls' College Exhibition 2026
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nArtful Wāhine is an exhibition run by Tauranga Girls’ College art Department. The Exhibition is open to all ākonga and they can create an artwork of their own choosing or submit something they have created at school. It gives ākonga the opportunity to exhibit publicly and perhaps sell their work. It takes courage to show your artwork in a public setting and through this experience ākonga can build their confidence in their own artistic ability. \nThis exhibition is about participation and the opportunity to display their artwork in a safe and supportive environment. The secondary school has a wide range of interests\, which is reflected in the work that is represented in the exhibition. \nThis event not only celebrates the students’ creativity but also provides a platform for the community to support and inspire the budding artists of tomorrow. The students will be on site during the weekends so drop by and give them some encouragement. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World. \nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 28th August – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga.

SUMMARY:Something Human by Mathew Johnson and Ila-Rose Hepetema
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nTheir works provoke\, resist\, and explode\, each piece igniting the next until the gallery becomes a chain reaction of ideas. \nThis is a rare collision of two singular creative forces\, an eclipse that exists for only a fleeting moment before the orbit shifts again. Once these works scatter back into their own trajectories\, this constellation will not gather in quite the same way again. \nThis is an exhibition that does not ask for your attention. It seizes it\, burrows into it\, and leaves carrying a piece of you with it. \nTo create is to let the soul speak. Play. Create. Express. Connect. \nIla-Rose Hepetema\, a Bay of Plenty Māori artist\, brings vibrant energy to every canvas through her stunning oil paintings and portraiture. With a lifelong passion for colour theory and composition\, Ila-Rose’s work celebrates saturation and vibrancy in bold\, captivating ways. After honing her craft studying contemporary Māori art at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa\, she’s now building her career as a professional artist\, taking portrait commissions and creating striking works that reimagine Aotearoa’s fauna with modern kōwhaiwhai. \nMathew Johnson | Abmon Photos is\, by all accounts\, a fountain of creative energy. Initially dabbling in photography as a means to create raw material for digital art\, his camera quickly became an all-consuming passion. Mathew’s work seeks authenticity as he explores the human experience. Each frame is a cultural snapshot\, a story for us to explore and connect with from our own unique perspectives. Mathew also offers event photography\, written word\, mentoring\, and digital art services\, bringing his creative vision to a variety of projects. His work blends storytelling and artistry to capture meaningful moments and create lasting impressions. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World. \nThis exhibition launch preview is Friday 28th August – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome. \nOn display in The Incubator Gallery and Studios from the 29th to the 19th of September. 10am – 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Bare Minimum - Life Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Incubator Creative Hub\nKeen for a dose of creative mindfulness? \nSuitable for beginner artists through to advanced\, these relaxed monthly sessions provide a fabulous opportunity to hone your observational drawing skills. The session will be hosted by long standing Incubator collaborator and talented artist\, Damien Kurth. He will be there to offer demonstrations\, support\, hints\, challenges and feedback for those who want it. \nWe will provide basic drawing supplies and a live model. Bring a mate\, your favourite drawing materials and refreshments. See ya there! \n*Out for respect for the model and the life drawing process\, this is a closed workshop. Please arrive with time to settle in before the workshop begins and doors close at 6pm. \nA word from the The Incubator: We are always striving to try make art opportunities more affordable and accessible for the community. At the same time we are also working to pay artists and collaborators fairly\, maintain our spaces and provide the necessary materials and resources. This intimate monthly gathering\, is a self-sustaining series. It needs a minimum number of participants to break even and anything above that goes toward the aforementioned necessities for future sessions. We think the Bare Minimum Life Drawing experience is unique one – offering extremely knowledgeable tutelage in a vibrant gallery setting amidst a curated exhibition of inspired artworks. You won’t be disappointed! \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Textured Art Painting
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Incubator Creative Hub\nPlay with texture\, explore your creativity and create a beautiful artwork in this vibrant and social Textured Art Painting workshop. \nIn this workshop you’ll explore textured painting\, a technique where paint is mixed and applied in thicker layers to create depth on the canvas. Instead of focusing on perfect brushstrokes\, it’s about playing with shapes and movement. It’s surprisingly freeing and a lot of fun! \nLaura will guide you step by step\, but there’s plenty of room to experiment and make the piece your own. By the end of the session\, you’ll have your own textured artwork to take home. \nAll art materials and tools provided\, as well as a few snacks and nibble. BYO drink if you’d like.🍷🍻 \nIt’s a vibrant and social evening — great to come with friends\, as a couple\, or even on your own if you feel like doing something creative after work.  Important note – Texture can only be white. \nLaura is an Incubator resident artist in the Villa Studios – pop in and say hi! Deeply inspired by the ocean\, Laura’s work reflects the intricate beauty of coral formations and marine ecosystems. Using textured layers\, structural elements and resin\, she creates tactile pieces that evoke the depth and movement found beneath the water’s surface. \nLearn more about Laura and her art here. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:The Feedback Lab
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nSTOP MARKING YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! \nIt’s time to unlock your creative noncritical voice. \nIntroducing the Feedback Lab 2026/27 monthly sessions. \nThe Feedback Lab invites artists of many different disciplines and levels to connect\, explore\, and share information ideas and processes in a relaxed non-judgemental environment. \nLead by Carol Bisset\, the Feedback Lab provides a safe place in which to share fresh perspectives on your own and other artists work. Throughout the year there will be a select group of guest speakers who will introduce us to their unique journeys as practising artists. \n“I’m really pleased to hear the Feedback Lab might be returning. \nWhat made it different for me was the intentional focus on constructive dialogue. It created a space where artists could share work and receive considered feedback from fresh perspectives. That process encouraged deeper reflection and brought valuable analytical insight into my own practice. I especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with other artists in Tauranga Moana in a meaningful way; not just socially\, but through critical and creative exchange. \nCarol is an outstanding facilitator. She creates a respectful\, responsive environment where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her ability to guide discussion while allowing space for diverse viewpoints is a real strength. \nGrassroots\, inclusive initiatives like this are vital for sustaining a healthy and connected arts community. They make critical conversation accessible and strengthen relationships within the local creative sector. ” \n– Fiorella Silva Perez. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Kiln God Exhibition - Pot House Gallery Group Show
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nWe invited potters and ceramists to create their own guardian figures to watch over our brand-new tabletop kiln. The response? Incredible. Now you can see them all at The Pot House – and take home one of your very own. \nFor centuries\, kiln gods have been placed near fires to protect the firing process and bring good fortune. In China and Hong Kong\, Yao Shen is enshrined in temples near kilns\, where potters pray\, burn incense\, and leave offerings. In ancient Greece\, Athena herself was called upon to oversee successful firings\, while mischievous kiln demons were said to punish poorly fired wares.  \nIn Western studios today\, potters often handcraft their own playful or personal guardians from leftover clay\, placing them on or near the kiln as symbols of hope\, superstition\, and skill. \nNow\, these timeless protectors are ready to find new homes.  \nWhether you place one by your fireplace\, beside the heat pump\, or somewhere it can quietly watch over your whānau\, a kiln god brings a little warmth and a lot of character. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World This exhibition launch preview is Friday 25th September – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome.  \nOn display at The Pot House Gallery from the 26th of September to the 17th of October 10am to 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Artful Mind
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nThe project pairs local artists with people living on the dementia journey. Artists spend time listening to their stories\, learning about their lives\, memories\, passions and experiences\, and then interpret those stories through their own artistic practice. \nThe resulting artworks provide a unique opportunity for the community to see beyond a diagnosis and connect with the person\, their story and their identity. \nThe local artists involved in this year’s exhibition are:\nBronwyn Copeland\nSteph Harlan\nAnne Shirley\nLynette Fisher\nJayna Caudwell\nLaura Penny \nDementia affects individuals\, families and communities across Aotearoa New Zealand. As awareness and understanding become increasingly important\, Artful Mind provides a creative way to challenge misconceptions and reduce the stigma surrounding dementia. \nThe exhibition aims to remind us that dementia does not define a person. People living with dementia continue to have stories\, experiences\, relationships\, personalities and things that matter deeply to them. \nThrough Artful Mind\, participants have the opportunity to:\n– Share their stories and have their experiences represented through art\n– Celebrate their identity and individuality\n– Connect with and inspire local artists\n– Have their voices and stories heard in a meaningful way\n\nThe artists and wider community have the opportunity to:\n– Develop a deeper understanding of the lived experience of dementia\n– Challenge stereotypes and reduce stigma\n– See the person beyond the diagnosis\n– Build greater empathy\, connection and understanding \nArtful Mind is more than an exhibition. It is an invitation to look beyond dementia\, discover the stories behind the artwork\, and see the person who is still there. \nArt has a way of finding what memory leaves behind. \nSponsored by Gate Pa New World This exhibition launch preview is Friday 25th September – 5.30pm at The Incubator Creative Hub\, The Historic Village\, 17th Ave\, Tauranga. Licensed Bar onsite\, and everyone is welcome. \nOn display at The Peoples Gallery from the 26th of September to the 17th of October 10am to 3pm. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Greenman Clay Mask Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nA Greenman is a sculpture found across many cultures around the globe\, throughout history. Often found outside in parks or formal gardens\, hanging on walls\, imbedded in religious architecture\, the Greenman is a face surrounded by or made from leaves with branches or vines sprouting from the nose or mouth. It is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth representing the cycle of growth each spring. It also has pagan roots as a rebellious artform – during the Norman conquest of England\, natives of the land were forced to build Norman churches and the Greenmen that appeared on these churches were often caricatures of their conquerors. \nEvery participant will be able to achieve their own unique mask made from clay with guidance by master potter\, Nick Eggleston. They will be fired and ready to collect within 3 weeks of the workshop. \nNick is a long-time collaborator\, tutor and resident artist of The Incubator. He graduated from Chesterfield College of Art and Design and is a member of The Society of Designer Craftsmen. While he is world renown for his amazing water colours\, especially of English Bull Terriers\, he is an actually an artist of many disciplines. He also happens to be a master potter\, a shoemaker\, and of course\, sketch artist. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:The Feedback Lab
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nSTOP MARKING YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! \nIt’s time to unlock your creative noncritical voice. \nIntroducing the Feedback Lab 2026/27 monthly sessions. \nThe Feedback Lab invites artists of many different disciplines and levels to connect\, explore\, and share information ideas and processes in a relaxed non-judgemental environment. \nLead by Carol Bisset\, the Feedback Lab provides a safe place in which to share fresh perspectives on your own and other artists work. Throughout the year there will be a select group of guest speakers who will introduce us to their unique journeys as practising artists. \n“I’m really pleased to hear the Feedback Lab might be returning. \nWhat made it different for me was the intentional focus on constructive dialogue. It created a space where artists could share work and receive considered feedback from fresh perspectives. That process encouraged deeper reflection and brought valuable analytical insight into my own practice. I especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with other artists in Tauranga Moana in a meaningful way; not just socially\, but through critical and creative exchange. \nCarol is an outstanding facilitator. She creates a respectful\, responsive environment where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her ability to guide discussion while allowing space for diverse viewpoints is a real strength. \nGrassroots\, inclusive initiatives like this are vital for sustaining a healthy and connected arts community. They make critical conversation accessible and strengthen relationships within the local creative sector. ” \n– Fiorella Silva Perez. \nFind out more

DESCRIPTION:Presented by: The Incubator Creative Hub\nSTOP MARKING YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! \nIt’s time to unlock your creative noncritical voice. \nIntroducing the Feedback Lab 2026/27 monthly sessions. \nThe Feedback Lab invites artists of many different disciplines and levels to connect\, explore\, and share information ideas and processes in a relaxed non-judgemental environment. \nLead by Carol Bisset\, the Feedback Lab provides a safe place in which to share fresh perspectives on your own and other artists work. Throughout the year there will be a select group of guest speakers who will introduce us to their unique journeys as practising artists. \n“I’m really pleased to hear the Feedback Lab might be returning. \nWhat made it different for me was the intentional focus on constructive dialogue. It created a space where artists could share work and receive considered feedback from fresh perspectives. That process encouraged deeper reflection and brought valuable analytical insight into my own practice. I especially appreciated the opportunity to connect with other artists in Tauranga Moana in a meaningful way; not just socially\, but through critical and creative exchange. \nCarol is an outstanding facilitator. She creates a respectful\, responsive environment where people feel safe to speak honestly. Her ability to guide discussion while allowing space for diverse viewpoints is a real strength. \nGrassroots\, inclusive initiatives like this are vital for sustaining a healthy and connected arts community. They make critical conversation accessible and strengthen relationships within the local creative sector. ” \n– Fiorella Silva Perez. \nFind out more

SUMMARY:Bare Minimum - Life Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Incubator Creative Hub\nKeen for a dose of creative mindfulness? \nSuitable for beginner artists through to advanced\, these relaxed monthly sessions provide a fabulous opportunity to hone your observational drawing skills. The session will be hosted by long standing Incubator collaborator and talented artist\, Damien Kurth. He will be there to offer demonstrations\, support\, hints\, challenges and feedback for those who want it. \nWe will provide basic drawing supplies and a live model. Bring a mate\, your favourite drawing materials and refreshments. See ya there! \n*Out for respect for the model and the life drawing process\, this is a closed workshop. Please arrive with time to settle in before the workshop begins and doors close at 6pm. \nA word from the The Incubator: We are always striving to try make art opportunities more affordable and accessible for the community. At the same time we are also working to pay artists and collaborators fairly\, maintain our spaces and provide the necessary materials and resources. This intimate monthly gathering\, is a self-sustaining series. It needs a minimum number of participants to break even and anything above that goes toward the aforementioned necessities for future sessions. We think the Bare Minimum Life Drawing experience is unique one – offering extremely knowledgeable tutelage in a vibrant gallery setting amidst a curated exhibition of inspired artworks. You won’t be disappointed! \nFind out more
