Venue hire
Our main space has a unique layout and is great for hosting public or private occasions. As well as running our own programmes, ALL GOODS is a great venue for your next workshop, community hui, event, performance, rehearsal or birthday.
Our main space is a large open plan area with loads of natural light, double doors leading into our garden and a kitchen opening into the heart of the space. With regular artists and community groups using the space daily, and rolling art exhibitions on the walls, the space is alive and active with a local identity.
Our history of ALL GOODS
ALL GOODS (2.0) opened its doors in March 2019. Since then we have held exhibitions; hosted artists in residency; film evenings; hui on gentrification, art projects all sorts of things in between.
The first ALL GOODS space was a home for lots of good stuff and since it closed doors in 2016 we had been looking for a new space. We found our new home tucked away between the Avondale library, Community centre and social housing development at Highbury courts. This new space has a history as a Community Preschool and has been home to many whānau in Avondale over its last 20 years.
