About the Business
Welcome to the Unitec Hub, located at 139 Carrington Road in Auckland, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are proud to be a university that offers a wide range of programmes and short courses, catering to diverse interests and passions.
At the heart of our institution is the Toi o Wairaka gallery, which showcases and promotes the latest contemporary art and design projects by students, staff, and other talented artists and designers in Aotearoa New Zealand. Guided by the values of Te Noho Kotahitanga, our project space for research and creative practice supports teaching and learning through various activities such as exhibitions, seminars, workshops, and postgraduate examinations.
The name "Toi o Wairaka" was carefully chosen by the School of Creative Industries, reflecting our deep connection to the land and water. It pays homage to Rakataura, who discovered the aquifer, and Wairaka, who brought forth the puna (spring) that is the heart of Unitec.
Our gallery not only serves as a research facility and teaching space for students and staff, but also fosters collaboration with external art practitioners. It is a professional arts space where industry learning can take place, encompassing various disciplines such as screen, moving image, craft, painting, print, photography, performance, sculpture, object, installation, design, and new technologies.
Beyond the gallery walls, we strive to make the arts visible to the wider community. Through initiatives like the Te Pātaka Art Trail, a community art trail that opened at Unitec-Te Pūkenga earlier this year, we aim to extend our reach and engage with the people of Tāmaki Makaurau and beyond.
Toi o Wairaka was officially inaugurated this week with the Mid-Year: Semester One Graduands, Design & Contemporary Art exhibition, featuring the remarkable work of Alyssa Beckwith, Dhriti Bhatia, Glaszia Luwenta, Tusia Sione, and Elvira Trowbridge. Our curator, Gina Ferguson, and her team have curated an exciting schedule of exhibitions and events for the remainder of 2023, which can be explored on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/uniteccreative/.
We welcome you to visit the Unitec Hub and immerse yourself in the vibrant world of art and design. Experience the creativity, innovation, and passion that thrive within our institution and join us in celebrating the power of artistic expression.
