How to Exhibit

The space in the Arts Centre can be rented (or hired) for exhibitions by Hawke's Bay artists. The exhibition areas are large, spacious and airy. The spaces available are the two sides downstairs, and two sides upstairs. Any, or all, of these spaces can be rented subject to availability and exhibitions are curated by the artists.

Most exhibitions are held in two week blocks.
