About

VIEWFINDER is an artist-run initiative that places contemporary art directly on the street. As a window project space, it offers local and emergent artists with a contemporary art practice to exhibit new and innovative work within an experimental environment. Currently, VIEWFINDER can be found in the window on Bank Lane between Trafalgar Street and Montgomery Square, Nelson. VIEWFINDER aims to keep changing the view in a street near you.

We are excited to announce that Viewfinder has been fully funded until the middle of 2023, through our Patreon members, Nelson City Council Arts Partnership Grant and Creative New Zealand Arts Grant Fund. Stoked! These funds go directly to paying for Viewfinder Artists to create new work and support the people behind the scenes who bring this window gallery to the people on the streets of Whakatū.

Previous funders of the Viewfinder Artistic Programme have been the Arts Foundation Boosted x Pledge Me Campaign, Creative Communities and Make/Shift Spaces NZ Ltd.
