CREATE artistic expressions and opportunities for young people to develop and discover new skills, talent and experiences.

Our Creative Beginnings...

The Corner: Creative Space is the brain child of Deahne and Leonie from The Creative Souls Project; an Avondale-based initiative that works throughout Auckland on a range of creative projects. It came from humble beginnings, a great idea and a dream to help young people achieve their full creative potential!

In collaboration with local young people, community leaders and groups, and with the help of the Papakura Local Board, The Corner: Creative Space opened their doors in May 2018... the fusion of creativity, community and culture proved to be a popular formula and an instant hit with locals. The Creative Souls Project have since moved on, but still continue to support, collaborate and consult with the team.
