Northart is a contemporary art gallery on the North Shore. It provides a platform for artists to present diverse, innovative, and contemporary exhibitions, while also fostering a hub for community engagement and creativity through events, workshops, and accessible programs for people of all ages and backgrounds. Northart will host two artists during the weekend with Rebecca Steedman on site Saturday & Jo Harris on site Sunday.

Rebecca creates ceramic sculptures and lettering related to local clay. Her exhibition at Northart explores the intimate relationship between materiality, language, and place. As a long-time resident of Tāmaki Makaurau’s North Shore, Rebecca possesses a deep familiarity with the tactile and visual nuances of its landscape.
