Depot Artspace Gallery is opening this Saturday!
Looking forward to seeing our community in person again!
We are overjoyed to be reopening Depot Galleries to the public this Saturday from 11am, with two fabulous exhibitions to view along with a number of works from our stockroom.
Make sure to check out PulseArt's exhibition in the Street Front Gallery which will only be up for an extra week or so ending on 30 November.
Hana Carpenter's exhibition in Central Gallery is also not to be missed and ends on 8 December.
For the safety of our community, artists, and Depot Artspace whānau, please wear a mask, scan in, sanitise your hands at the door, and keep two metres apart from other visitors. There will be a 4 person limit on visitors at any one time, but please don’t let this deter you from visiting – if there is a short wait, we are surrounded by a number of lovely cafes that are serving contactless coffee just down the road!
Our new gallery hours:
Tues – Fri: 10am – 3.30pm
Saturdays: 11am – 3pm
Sun & Mon: closed
We're talking new year resolutions...

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
