the visual arts.
The Artstation Gallery shows a new exhibition every
three weeks, representing Auckland's diverse artistic community.

a print studio.

evening, weekends and school holidays.
Housed in a historic building on Ponsonby Road, formerly the Grey Lynn Police Barracks, Artstation is at the centre of one of the city's arts precincts. Artstation is also
