Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery is a regional gallery locally rooted in West Auckland but globally minded. We have a distinctive West Auckland focus but a national and international perspective. Through our programmes, we create a world stage for art that is relevant for our audiences, to put local art, artists and ideas in conversation and context with national and international developments in contemporary practice. We present a diverse programme of contemporary exhibitions, events and activities, including art, craft and design, to reflect and strengthen the full diversity of cultural identities, interests and potential of our community.As a destination gallery, Te Uru operates from an award-winning, building in the recently re-opened Lopdell Precinct. The gallery originally opened in 1986 as the Waitemata City Arts and Cultural Centre, later known as Lopdell House Gallery, sited in the historic Lopdell House building in the heart of Titirangi, gateway to the Waitākere rain forest and en route to Auckland's famous west coast beaches. We reopened as Te Uru on Saturday 1 November 2014 in our new purpose-built facilities, offering extraordinary exhibitions and spectacular views of the surrounding area.Our name, Te Uru, makes reference to Te Hau a Uru, the wind that blows from the west, a powerful characteristic of the region and an important story for local iwi, Te Kawerau ā Maki, who have bestowed us with this new kaupapa. The west wind shares the messages and vision of the people that live in the west, brings change, sets direction and influences Auckland City from its mountainous perch atop the Great Forest of Tiriwa. Te Uru will be a source of information and ideas that will project across the region - a fitting framework for a contemporary gallery.420 Titirangi Road, Titirangi, Auckland, New ZealandPhone:+64 9 817 8087Open: Monday-Sunday, 10am-4:30pmhttp://www.teuru.org.nz/Parking available on the street or behind the gallery.Public transport - buses and trains available from New Lynn transit station

Te Uru Waitākere Contemporary Gallery

A mixed media exhibition from a vibrant group.

Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery

A playful, vibrant and colourful collection of works created by the artists of A Supported Life’s creative hub, ‘Two4nine’, a studio for artists with disabilities. This exhibition features different mediums, including photography, sculpture, mosaic, ceramics and paintings. The artists of Two4nine invite viewers to reflect in equal measure on the beauty and vulnerability of those that inhabit our waterways. From fish to bird life, to people who have lived close by. Two4nine are motivated by a belief in the authentic creativity in their works. They say, we believe art is about revealing ourselves and creating meaningful connections – between artists, tutors and art lovers. Our experiences will always be shared, our knowledge passed on, and our studio will be a space for fun, creativity and success.The artists whose work is featured in this exhibition include: Brendon Baverstock, Rose Green, Bradley Houia, Treena Armstrong, Neala O’Brien, Danny Cope, Hamish Knott, Margot Peacock, Matthew Coakley, Matthew Tonkin, Amy Hall and Jonathan Gill.A Supported Life works with the Ministry of Social Development and the Ministry of Health to empower people with moderate to mild learning disabilities through supported accommodation, lifestyle planning and development. They teach a range of skills to suit the diverse needs and aspirations of the people they support.
