Exhibitions Call-out for Gallery Spaces 2027

Morrinsville Gallery invites artists to propose exhibitions across three rentable gallery spaces in the heart of Morrinsville's main street. With over 12,000 visitors per year from across Waikato and beyond, it's a well-trafficked venue with a strong reputation for showcasing both established and emerging New Zealand artists.

Available spaces:

• Whakaaturanga Gallery – The largest space, with approximately 43 linear metres of wall space and 160m² of floor space. Four-week hire: $850, or $215 per week. Ceiling height 3m, with a movable lighting system and French rail hanging system.
• Community Gallery – 25 linear metres of wall space and 55m² of floor space (note: a large window occupies approx. 2.5 linear metres). Four-week hire: $500, or $130 per week.
• Awatea Gallery – The first space visitors encounter on entry, with natural light, street frontage, and night-time visibility. Approximately 10 linear metres and 26m² of floor space, including up to three suspended industrial grid-style walls and one freestanding wall. Four-week hire: $450, or $115 per week.

The gallery's main (premier) gallery is generally reserved for the Arts House Trust collection and select curated exhibitions.

The gallery offers curatorial support, promotion via print and social media, and strong sales potential. A 35% commission applies to all works sold. All prices include GST.
