When Artists Take Over St Kevins Arcade

So in the midst of Auckland Council cracking down on all things Street Art around Auckland city, this wall came just in time! Located on the ‘official RWC walking trail’ the Auckland Council actually commissioned the Cut Collective team to paint the walls leading up the St Kevins Arcade stairs. Seemed a bit strange considering their whole crack down policy….but none the less we are all (by we all I mean myself and the locals I have... Read More

The Dirty 13 – Opening Night

Last Wednesday was the opening of The Dirty 13, a street art exhibition I had the pleasure of being apart of this year. This exhibition was part of a larger event happening at the Basement called The Basement Fest. Charlie and the team at The Basement were awesome to work with and it was such a dynamic, energetic spot to hang over the last few weeks. The space itself was a bit challenging compared to your stock standard gallery, but that was part... Read More
