Pansy Studio

What happens when a bunch of neurodiverse passionate queer artists come together into a creative studio space? Our community's dream is for Pansy Studio to become an established secure spot in central Pōneke for LGBTQIA+ artists. We inspire & support new and emerging artists who are fresh out of their studies in the creative queer community.

We are an epitome of minorities coming together and building an array of art that challenges stereotypes.

Pansy as a space is an art piece; a celebration of diversity within art and energy. 

Pansy Studio is an ethical, forward-thinking social enterprise that ensures safety, security and creativity for LGBTQIA+ artists. Pansy Studio assists creative multidisciplinary artists to reach financial sustainability and give creative jobs, opportunities, and a safe space for our community, whilst also including ethical, forward, and modern project planning in all our processes to further support rangatahi.

Although we accept donations, Pansy Studio chose to be a social enterprise rather than dependent on donations as to develop a reliable revenue stream for artists. Pansy strives for the artists they work with to sustainably thrive. Pansy provides a space where we can have artists come together and do workshops, working through the studio space as well as having digital residencies.
