TCAC The Upstairs Gallery is rated 3 out of 5 in the category recreational facilities and services. Read and write reviews about TCAC The Upstairs Gallery. The Upstairs Gallery is a community centred space that supports and promotes emerging artists - young and old. We see ourselves as a hub of INSPIRATION. Of creativity. And of Whanau. A place for emerging artists to socialise and showcase artwork of all mediums and offer an opportunity for everyone to connect with art - making art accessible to all. Set in Titirangi’s iconic Lopdell House, there's nowhere else we’d rather be than the foothills of the beautiful Waitakere Ranges. There's around 12 exhibitions per year with a mix of solo and group shows. We also host a number of events and community competitions to raise awareness of the gallery and promote arts within West Auckland and the wider Auckland region. Around 1200 people visit per month and there are approximately 300 financial members. Our annual Emerging Artist Awards are held in August and the popular ‘cash and carry’ Christmas show always attracts a lot of interest! We rely hugely on our wonderful sponsors, the support of our community volunteers and our paid gallery members being a not-for-profit community art gallery. We're governed by the Titirangi Community Arts Council (TCAC) and partly funded by Auckland Council. TCAC was established in 1978 by the Arts Guild and they drove the acquisition of Lopdell House as an art's centre as well as establishing the Lopdell House Society.
