Photospace Gallery opened at 37 Courtenay Place, Wellington CBD, in December 1998 and it remains the only full-time gallery in the Wellington region dedicated to exhibiting contemporary New Zealand photography.

Exhibitions change monthly and feature works by leading and emerging photographic artists from all over New Zealand, and some by international exhibitors. The photography is wide-ranging in theme and technique, and includes colour, black & white, digital and silver-based photographs. While the gallery's focus is on fine prints, exhibitions also include documentary projects, installations, experimental works,
various alternative processes, projection and video.

There is also a range of NZ photography books available for sale.
