PODspace is an exhibition and education program managed on a voluntary basis by a group of emerging curators and artists.

PODspace stopped operating as a traditional gallery at the end of 2012, before experimenting with pop up exhibitions in 2013. During 2014 PODspace will again retain the pop up exhibition format, working with partners to activate spaces around Newcastle.

'Drawing, properly taught, is the best way of developing intelligence
and forming judgement, for one learns to see, and seeing is knowledge.

Drawing underpins the Diploma of Fine Arts Course at the Newcastle TAFE.
The Final Year Advanced Diploma students, guided by Lezlie Tilley, have
come together in this exhibition to share their passion for drawing. A
tribute to Lezlie's style of teaching - which seeks to nurture,
challenge and draw out the best in her students - the show demonstrates
Lezlie's ability to hone in on each artist's strengths to help develop
and inspire their work.

PROCEEDS WILL GO TOWARDS COMPLETING RENOVATIONS



PODspace is BACK!

Well, break open the champers, PODspace is back in a neat new location on Hunter St. This little artist-run gallery has reopened tonight after a four month hiatus, and relocation from its old digs, at TPI house. After the builders had gone and the dust settled, there emerged a gallery for emerging and established artists. Upon seeing his work in the new space artist, Peter Lankas said “It's a cute tight space that will definitely work.” It speaks of intimate times with works, and sharing personable musings over some wine with the artists - all snuggly like.

For the grand opening, a group of past exhibitors have come together to fund-raise the cost of the refurbishment of the new space. A wild mix of texture and colour, mediums collide against one another and the fresh white walls of newness. Now is a great time to get reacquainted with an old friend in crisp-cut clothes. And, if you missed the opening, you can see it all again at The Octapod relaunch December 2, 4-6pm!
