Create & Celebrate: Pop-Up Studio

Pop-Up Studio is coming to an end, so join us in celebration of our artists and the ideas they have been testing out over the course of the residency.

Six resident artists will co-curate an exhibition and will be hosting fun, hands-on activities so that you can engage directly with their processes and ideas. Expect mini sculpture projects, an intro to watercolour, jewellery making, stone rubbings and more.

Saturday 23 November / 2-4pm

Pop-Up Studio is a short-term shared studio residency at Oxford Gallery for six artists.

The gallery transforms into a shared workspace so that artists can;
showcase their practice
work collaboratively
meet and work with other artists
co-curate a two-week exhibition
celebrate the project and the work created with visitors.
Pop-Up Studio is the ONLY residency of its kind in Waimakariri
Why?
A shared workspace is an incubator for collegiality and collaboration. Having artists at work in our space brings it alive with creativity and activity. We know this from the brilliantly successful Open House Studio in 2020 where several artist-printmakers shared the space. Pop-Up Studio is an extension of the Open House kaupapa, widened to include artists from a range of disciplines. It promotes connection and community for artists and allows them to share the creative process and their work with our visitors. This is our second Pop-Up Studio. The first was in 2023.
