From their website, "Toi Pōneke Arts Centre is a creative space where the city's arts communities interact, produce innovative works, teach and exhibit in the heart of Wellington." It's not a big gallery. In fact, just one large room. The current exhibit is "This is the life that was" by Amanda Smith and is running from February 17 to March 15. "This is the life that was attempts to make sense of life and the world of Amanda Smith; recognizing private trauma and public chaos co-exist. Memory and time play a significant part in exploration, the unrealistic longing for times now gone and for times ahead." It was... interesting. I'm glad it was free.

Came here to get some practice time on a drumset as I am living abroad from the USA. The pictures of the kit on the website were misleading. The drumset is pretty ratty. Snare drum completely broken, no crash/ride cymbal. So I felt that I got a little ripped off for the price. Although I offered to help fix some parts….Would like to see these things improved because the space and facilities are quite nice and it seems like a cool idea for bands and drummers to rehearse here.

Gallery was cool. The Hand of Dog was a great exhibit to check out. Was hoping to talk with staff about the location. Nobody was working the front door desk to greet people.
