What we’re all about…

Ventana art space Martinborough Wairarapa Wellington group experience
child running around flower in Ventana art space in martinborough, wairarapa

We know creativity improves brain function, lifts mood, builds trust and cooperation between humans, and is the foundation of innovation. We believe these benefits should be accessible to everyone.

From our kidlets who grow their creativity through regular classes and school holiday workshops, to those building their creative practice in later life, or corporate teams super-charging their productivity, problem-solving and team cohesion with creative mindfulness. We know life is just better if we’re able to explore this ancient, hardwired part of us in a safe and inclusive environment.  

Ventana is all about using your hands, quietening your mind and connecting with others. And of course having a bloody good time. 

“I constantly hear the words, ‘I’m not creative’. Or ‘I can’t draw or paint’. The secret is out of the bag. We’re all creative. And when engaging in activities that express and nurture this, there are massive benefits to our well-being as individuals and groups.”

“Creativity should be accessible to all, part of our everyday, woven into the important stages of our life. But most of all. Creativity should be fun.”

  • Bec - Ventana CCO (Chief Creation Officer) 

THE VENTANA STORY

Ventana was dreamed up on the back of a pizza box by two Wairarapa blow-ins, looking for a window into the wider world of art and creativity from our beautiful, remote corner of the planet.

What began in 2016 as a gallery, retail store, and workshop space in central Martinborough — showcasing art from around the world — soon took on a life of its own. It turned out there was an incredible abundance of creative genius in our small village and its surroundings, and Ventana became the perfect excuse to celebrate it.

Nearly a decade later, and now owned by artist, educator, and obsessive maker, Bec Mackie, Ventana is an Art Space for everyone. Kids, adults, wedding parties, and business teams all come to master everything from giant knitting and giant flower-making to watercolours and neurographic art.

 Becs is Chief Creation Officer (CCO) of Ventana and artist in residence in our Martinborough studio. 

From the green and golden shores of East Coast Aussie, Becs found her way via outback stations and wild South Island outposts to Martinborough Wine Village in 2018. Here she found the perfect place to create. After taking over Ventana, meeting her now husband Brent, having her beautiful daughter Maeve - she is now not only considered a local, but in Ventana, has built a creative home for locals, tourists and visitors alike. 

Becs is a trained educator, life-long art and craft machine, and can literally make anything. Just ask. 

‘‘The Ventana logo and our beautiful studio mural show a weave of Kiwi Kōwhai and Aussie Wattle. These flowers represent resilience, renewal and connection, which is exactly how I feel about finding my home here and what I hope Ventana brings into people’s lives’’.
