Artworks, creative workshops, gigs, wellbeing clinics and a warm welcome will greet rangatahi as they enter a pop-up central city youth space in Dunedin which promises a packed programme over Youth Week and the week following.

A launch event will take place on Sunday 8 May from 2pm and will feature an exhibition of youth art, live music, dance and kai. Special guest, Jane Zintl, CEO of Youth Week/Ara Taiohi will speak at the opening.

Timed to coincide with the national Youth Week, the pop-up youth space aims to celebrate the talent of young people while providing information about opportunities and support available.

Located on Princes Street at the Community Gallery and neighbouring performance space Te Whare o Rukutia, the Ōtepoti Youth Space will have a focus on creativity and community connections.

A welcoming hangout space, open each day from 3pm-6:30pm, will feature a range of activities each afternoon with youth mentors on hand to korero and support youth as needed.

Free workshops each afternoon 4-6pm, Monday-Saturday, presented by youth organisations, range from stencil art, slam poetry, zine making, hip hop and drumming, see specific details below and on our facebook page.

Friday and Saturday nights are open late until 9pm and feature an open mic night and youth bands.
