Whare Taupua Mini-Studio Spaces
Open 10am – 4pm
34 Forth Street Invercargill
We are transforming Whare Taupua into 11 mini-studio spaces. Drop by and see creativity in full swing. Each tiny space will be alive with colour, texture, and imagination—where artists do their thing and you’re welcome to linger, chat, and soak it all in.
These little spaces are a window into the creative process. Watch the brushstrokes, see ideas take shape and hear the stories behind the art straight from the people making it.
Stop by, stay a while, and experience the joy of art unfolding right in front of you. Who knows… you might just leave with a new connection and a piece of art to call your own.
On Sunday from 3pm [as an added bonus!] the place will come alive with tunes from Folkinfusion. Make your trail journey end on the right note 🎵 🎶
