Upcoming Exhibitions & Events
In Good Company
In Good Company is about the company we keep - the artists, the conversations, the shared commitment to contemporary practice, and the people who spend time with the work. Featuring new works by Ashe artists, this celebratory group exhibition honours the creative connections that bring our community together.

Blackmore Foster Exhibition
Blackmore Foster brings together painters Jane Blackmore and Nic Foster in a shared exploration of the Aotearoa landscape, expressed through two distinct yet complementary perspectives.
Both artists use painting to evoke feeling, memory, and atmosphere through colour, light, and gesture, transporting the viewer beyond the immediate scene. Blackmore’s expansive vistas open outward into vast, luminous horizons, where scale and light create a sense of distance and quiet grandeur. In contrast, Foster’s works draw the viewer inward, offering intimate, immersive encounters with the land.
Together, their practices form a dialogue between horizon and presence—inviting viewers to experience landscape as both something we look across, and something we are held within.
Mud & Meditation Workshop
Discover a unique blend of mindfulness and creativity with the Mud & Meditation Workshop at Ashe Contemporary Art. Guided meditation, intuitive pottery, and a welcoming gallery environment came together for a restorative 90-minute experience in the heart of Christchurch.
Between Light & Line Exhibition
Between Light & Line brings together four contemporary artists whose distinctive practices explore atmosphere, abstraction, and the subtle relationship between light, texture, and form. Featuring original works by Sarah Albisser, Amy Hoedemakers, Moonvi (Viktoria Karaman), and Elizabeth Wood.
The Art of Gathering X Common Haus
