WE’RE PUSHING PAUSE.

We’re currently not accepting applications for events or residencies.

We’ve struggled with keeping up, so we’re taking necessary time to pause, reflect, and consider our future.

It’s never easy to admit, but these are challenging times for the creative industries, and we don’t feel it’s fair to carry on with poor communication. That’s not how we want to operate, and we’re sorry for those who have felt this from us.

We’ve seen many independent spaces close over the years. Many, like us, do not receive grants or funding, so please support your local creatives & their spaces. Do not haggle their prices or place unfair/unrealistic expectations on them (this really affected us).

With a little bit of restructuring and asking for help, we’ll be back in no time. Thanks for all the support so far, and during this time of evolution.

Some acknowledgments to our fallen spaces that gave creatives and communities space to grow and thrive across New Zealand:
Tyanhaus (CHC), Garage Mahal (CHC), Club House (CHC), The Laundry (WLG), Club 121 (WLG), Nautilus (WLG), Everybodys (AKL), SpaceCloud99 (AKL), and many others

welcome creatives.

Inspired by the post-industrial creative scene in Berlin,
XCHC offers affordable spaces for creatives to connect, produce, showcase, and develop their work
