Watch This Space Trust

Watch This Space was established to explore, document and celebrate urban art in Ōtautahi and wider Aotearoa as it develops and evolves. We utilise technology to bridge the gap between artists and audience, provide a forum for the presentation and consideration of the narratives emerging from this creative realm and support artists with opportunities to create new works, events and projects. Our activities range from documenting and archiving a detailed online database and resource available to both engage a public audience and support the culture of urban art, to running guided tours and workshops that enable people to unlock their relationship to and potential for creativity. We also provide young people avenues to engage with creative activities and feel connected with their surrounding environment through art. These activities also ensure a fresh view of Ōtautahi's urban landscape and its potential as a participatory and creative landscape that can be transformed and re-imagined.
