The Good The Bad [OPEN DURING EXHIBITION DATES ONLY]

A grassroots, not-for-profit, artist-run, community+arts gallery. Please get in touch via email for enquiries.

The Good The Bad Gallery (est. 2015) was the transformation of a neglected former doctors clinic into the first art gallery in Tāmaki, East Auckland. It is a not-for-profit, artist-run initiative that seeks to provide opportunities for artists of all ages to present their art publicly and engage local communities with quality art experiences. Its purpose was to fill the gap missing in the community for a much-needed space dedicated to presenting and viewing visual art. The aim was to cultivate and encourage the accessibility, appreciation and culture of the visual arts within the Tāmaki community. The doors closed on the physical gallery space in April 2017 after 12 exhibitions that included 54 artists (35 under 18 years old) and over 1200 visits. Between 2017 and 2020 the gallery occupied no permanent physical space with exhibitions popping-up in temporary locations across East Auckland. The Good The Bad Gallery has found a new home at 11 Mayfair Place, Glen Innes and reopened in April 2021. Massive thanks to Tāmaki Regeneration Company and Street Artearoa for their support to make this happen!

Blank Canvas explores the transformative power of art as a catalyst for social cohesion and personal wellbeing. This exhibition highlights how creative expression brings healing, bridges cultural divides, and strengthens community bonds. By turning the gallery into a shared space for reflection and dialogue, the exhibition invites us to experience art not just as an aesthetic pursuit, but as an essential tool for human connection.

Free therapeutic art-making workshops facilitated by art therapist in training, Ryan Fisk, and supported by local artist Wiremu Cowell, will take place at The Good The Bad in Panmure on Saturday 19, 26 Sep & 3 Oct at 11-1pm.

Exhibition celebration will take place on Saturday 12 Sep, 11-1pm with free music, food, and activities. All welcome.

This exhibition extends the visibility and impact of the free art drop-in workshops led by Ryan Fisk, with support from Wiremu Cowell, Te Kaupapa, Ruapōtaka Marae, & Kāhui Tū Kaha. Hosted at The Good The Bad in Glen Innes every Tuesdays from 11-1pm.
