It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Sunsets, The Magnificent Eminence From Our Star, Tony Minett
"Light from the sun takes about eight minutes to travel to our planet, so when we see the sun as it sets, it has already gone during that eight-minute time delay; only its light remains."
Inside the Dead Box, Chris Schreuder

Figure and Ground, making meaning in the Anthropocene
Curated by Angela Rowe and featuring work by Megan Corbett, Deborah Crowe, George Hajian, Gemma Keene, Vicky Little, Ros May, Mark Phobos, and Megan White.
Photographic technology has a history intertwined with photomontage, making it an excellent medium for challenging ideas around the authenticity of the photographic image. It is the perfect medium for creating images of a photographic nature that are impossible to make using traditional photographic equipment and techniques.
Things I Found Walking, Maggie Buxton
A collection of images of botanicals found on one of Maggie’s many walks along Beach Road in Onerahi. They document the cruel and altering process of pressing and drying away their life essence and then encasing them in crude bioplastic experiments.
Object (the physical image)
Object (the physical image) is the latest exhibition at the Shutter Room featuring the work of local artists Grant Beran, Maggie Buxton, Lisa Clunie, Sonja van Kerkhoff, Angela Rowe, Chris Schreuder, Ellie Smith & Diane Stoppard. These artists revel in the physical potential of an image - the materiality - the substance - the quality of a surface - the volume/dimension….the ‘thingness’ of their artwork. There is a perception that photography is like a window or a mirror - something we look through and therefore not interesting as a physical art object. This exhibition is a challenge to that notion - we invite you to come in and view the artworks on display and see what you think!
Making the Cut
Making the Cut features work by selected 2022 graduates from the very last cohort of the Bachelor of Applied Arts at NorthTec.
Street Art, Kennith Adams
The district is my home. Imperceptibly my attitudes softened first to benign tolerance then later to delight at the colour, form, wry observations, fun and laughter found in artworks that were slathered everywhere, over everything.
