Akepiro Street Studios Open Day

Akepiro Street Studios Open Day—midday to 4pm, Saturday, 13 November 2021

I have run these studios in Kingsland as workspaces for 13 artists since 2008, and we love showing the community what goes on here as part of Artweek each year. Talk directly with the artists working in paint and small sculpture – their environment, processes, and work made specially for the occasion. Read more on Artweek Auckland.
