The Kit
The Kit is a subscription-based resource facility located on the basement level of Artspace Aotearoa in the former sorting room of the Tāmaki Makaurau central post office. Like the sorting room, The Kit seeks to sift and connect, making sure skills, support, and cohort are enabled post-art school, or as practitioners seek to deepen their professional capabilities.
The Kit offers two key services to subscribers who pay a one-off annual subscription fee:
- access to professional skills labs offered monthly
- 1:1 consultation with the technical team to problem-solve production processes
In addition, as a subscriber you can rent the large multi-purpose space for rehearsal, production tests, documenting work etc for an additional fee on a single-day basis.
Individual 75 NZD, September 2023-August 2024
Organisations 300 NZD September 2023-August 2024
*we welcome payment in instalments. For more information email thekit@artspace.org.nz
