Auckland’s Moonlight Creative Showcase – organised by Clemenger Group’s Auckland-based shopper comms agency Raydar and The Designers Institute to highlight the unusual way the NZ creative community works – is under way at Allpress Studio in Freemans Bay.

The show is free, and features work from 12 selected students and 12 established industry creatives.

“The exhibition is based on the premise that some of the brightest work happens after the sun goes down and will reveal a unique side of creativity through ‘moonlight projects’ – personal work created beyond the boundaries of the day,” says Moonlight producer Nick McFarlane (Raydar design director).


“Proceeds of artwork sold will be equally split between the artists and a DINZ fund for future creative collaboration events.”

The 12 professionals will each select one student from submission and go on to provide advice, feedback and mentoring to their chosen student through the event. Established artists taking include; Nick McFarlane (Raydar), Mike Davison (Colenso BBDO), Kelly Thompson (Maker’s Mgmt artist agency), and The Jellyologist Jessica Mentis.

Proceeds of artwork sold will be equally split between the artists and a DINZ fund for future creative collaboration events.

Moonlight will be open to the public at Allpress Studio, 8 Drake Street, Freemans Bay. Doors open daily 7am-3.30pm.
