Toi and Bottle Creek galleries

Does your kaupapa support ours? We accept exhibition proposals for either Toi Gallery or Bottle Creek Gallery.

All exhibition proposals are considered at the annual exhibitions committee meeting in March. Our exhibition spaces are currently fully programmed for 2027 – the next call for proposals, for exhibitions to be held in 2028, will close at 5pm, 11th February 2027.

About the spaces

TOI GALLERY is our commercial gallery where we exhibit and sell work from local, national and international artists.

Works can be sold through the Toi Store with a 35% commission going to Pātaka, so you're supporting both the gallery and the artist. Exhibitions run for 6–8 weeks. Toi Gallery features 32 metres of linear wall space and 60 square metres of floor space. 

To exhibit in the Toi Gallery, artists must first submit a proposal to our exhibition committee. Enquiries to exhibitions@poriruacity.govt.nz

BOTTLE CREEK GALLERY is our community gallery reserved for artists and groups who reflect or engage with the communities of Porirua.

There is no rental fee for local artists and groups. 

The Bottle Creek Gallery features 32 metres of linear wall space, which can be extended by our movable walls and 130 square metres of floor space. 

Works don’t have to be for sale, but if they are, Pātaka takes a 35% commission on all works sold.

To exhibit in the Bottle Creek Gallery, artists or community groups must first submit a proposal to our exhibition committee. Enquiries to exhibitions@poriruacity.govt.nz
