Lowtide started with a need to create space —
for ourselves, and for others who didn’t quite fit anywhere else.
Built with friends in the vault beneath St Kevin’s Arcade on Karangahape Road, it began as a place to gather.
Small shows. Exhibitions. Music shared between us.
A vision and clear intent.

Built with friends in the vault beneath St Kevin’s Arcade on Karangahape Road, it began as a place to gather.
Small shows. Exhibitions. Music shared between us.
A vision and clear intent.
From there it grew.
The room filled quickly, then kept filling —
more artists, more people, more energy than the space was designed to hold.
What began as informal gatherings evolved into something more structured —
a studio, a platform, a testing ground.
Lowtide became a working music studio, a photography space, and a pop-up environment for emerging fashion designers.
A place where ideas could be tried, where people could fail safely, and where new work could take shape.

The impact was immediate.
It built a community around it — one that backed each other, showed up, and kept growing beyond the walls of the space itself.
More than a venue, Lowtide established a way of working.
Backing people early.
Holding space with care.
And understanding when something is ready to outgrow its original form.
That approach defined me, and has stayed with me in everything I do.
