Grey Lynn! Even its name whispers of an understated cool, and you're absolutely right – it pulses with creative energy.

Musicians, filmmakers, fashionistas, chefs, writers, artisan foodies, painters, potters, and glassmakers – a vibrant spectrum of artistic souls live here.

For years, we fostered this spirit with Green Screen, a monthly gathering at the Grey Lynn Community Centre. Grey Lynn Creates was a celebration of the artists who live here.
