about

Our dream is to excite viewers with diverse shows and add a layer of richness to the Nelson arts landscape, by offering our space to those who dance on the fringier side of their contemporary practice.

Project 100 is here to support emerging and established contemporary artists and makers across all disciplines to present exciting monthly projects. We provide a beautiful, affordable and accessible pop-up gallery space in inner city Whakatū Nelson.

Project 100

Alongside the gallery, the Project 100 building houses the Bench School for Jewellery, founded by contemporary jeweller Kay van Dyk, as well as private studios for working artists.

A former laundromat, our street presence is superb, with a full glass frontage facing an inner-city neighbourhood with great bars, eateries, stores and attractions. A stone's throw away, you’ll find Family Jewels Records, The Free House craft brewery, Kiln Pottery studio, Lee Woodman Studios, Viewfinder gallery, Eclectic Antique Centre, Arden and Urban eateries and an organics store. You get the picture? 

Project 100 is easily accessible with free car parks right on our doorstep and Buxton Carpark at our rear.
