Journal

Behind every artwork, every exhibition, is a story. It's the story that brings a work to life. It's the story that reveals meaning, provides context, and creates a connection between you, the artist and their work. Here, we take you beyond the surface.

Read or watch interviews with artists and engage with exclusive inside the studio content. Our feature essays, reviews and thought pieces (written by our staff writers and invited guest writers) bring the goings on of the wider Aotearoa New Zealand art world into focus.

Discover how to start your collecting journey; learn tips and gain insights into practical considerations like framing and insurance with our Ask an Expert pieces.

You will even find thought pieces with an outward looking, international connection - because, while we are telling the stories of Aotearoa's artists, art and creative ideas do not happen in a vacuum.
