Please note that acceptance of work into either The Artist Window Gallery or The Pot House Gallery is at our discretion, based on suitability, quality, presentation, and maintaining a balanced collection of styles across our spaces.
With guidance from our professional curation team, we carefully select works that align with our vision while supporting our creative community. While we can't accept every submission, we appreciate your understanding and encourage you to keep sharing your artistic journey with us.

The Artist Window Gallery is the Incubator Creative Hub's retail gallery with the kaupapa to nurture and showcase a vibrant community of established artists, elevating the profile and opportunities for skilled practitioners in our region. We celebrate excellence in artistry, craftsmanship, and presentation, ensuring that every piece in our gallery reflects a high standard of workmanship, materials, and framing.
While we focus on representing mid career+ experienced artists in this gallery the Incubator warmly invites creators of all levels to participate in our annual group exhibitions in our other galleries—so don’t be discouraged if you’re just starting out!
If your submission isn’t accepted this time, we encourage you to keep refining your craft and stay connected with us.
To apply, please share at least four images of your current work, highlighting the quality of your framing and/or canvases. We may also request to see the pieces in person. Take care in writing your artwork descriptions—your story should be as unique and meaningful as your art, so authenticity matters! (AI-generated text is easy to spot, and we’d much rather hear your voice.)
We’ll also review your website and professional social media as part of the submission process, so make sure they reflect your artistic journey.
As part of our close-knit creative ecosystem, we kindly ask that represented artists be available to personally attend the gallery at least once a month as part of our roster—this helps us foster connection, engagement, and shared success.
Thank you for considering The Artist Window Gallery—we look forward to seeing your work, the passion behind it.

Nestled in a charming little villa, we celebrate pottery and ceramics as both a serious contemporary artform and a treasured traditional craft. Since opening in 2021 as Tauranga’s only collective ceramics gallery, we’ve grown into a vibrant placemaking hub—where creativity, community, and clay come together.
Our space fosters professional development and elevates the profiles of skilled ceramic artists, offering a supportive ecosystem for established makers to thrive. As part of our collective spirit, we kindly ask represented artists to be available for gallery duties at least once a month—this shared commitment keeps our creative whare buzzing!
While we focus on showcasing experienced ceramicists, we warmly welcome emerging artists through special exhibitions and collaborative projects—so don’t hesitate to connect. If your work isn’t quite the right fit this time, we encourage you to keep shaping your unique voice in clay.
To apply, please share images of 3-4 current pieces that reflect your technical skill and artistic vision.
Your artist statement matters—tell us the real story behind your creations (we can always spot AI-generated text, and your authentic voice is what we love!).
We’ll also peek at your website or social media to get a sense of your ceramic journey.
