Exhibiting at Studio One Toi Tū is a little different from other galleries — it’s an exciting, artist-led model where you take the lead.

As an exhibiting artist, you're responsible for installing and de-installing your own work. We’ll provide clear guidelines to help you plan and carry this out.

If you anticipate needing technical advice, we do have a technician who may be able to provide guidance ahead of your install day — and in some cases, assist with more complex elements. However, please note that the ultimate responsibility for installation and de-installation lies with you.

As part of your exhibition at Studio One Toi Tū, we will:
- Promote your exhibition through our programme, social media, and exhibition invitations.
- Send details of your exhibition to everyone on our database, and provide you with a link to email your own contacts.
- Provide guidelines and information for an opening function.

As an exhibiting artist at Studio One Toi Tū, you will:

- Be responsible for the installation and de-installation of your exhibition
- Pay the required hire fee in full, at least two months prior to your exhibition booking
- Install all works securely and in line with your hire agreement and Studio One Toi Tū’s health and safety guidelines
- Discuss any large or heavy works with our technical staff well in advance
- Discuss any potentially hazardous aspects of your installation with our technical staff
- Ensure that all electrical equipment is tested and tagged prior to installation
- Give our technical team advance notice if you require their advice or assistance
- Take responsibility for the security of your work — please note that Studio One Toi Tū is not a secured space and cannot accept liability for loss or damage.

Applicants will be contacted if further information is required. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via email at info@studioone.org, phone on 09 376 3221, or visit us at 1 Ponsonby Rd, Auckland.
