The NZ Art Show presents Aotearoa’s leading annual celebration of visual art – bringing together over 300 artists and more than 4,000 original artworks under one roof in the heart of Wellington.
A CELEBRATION OF NZ ART AND ARTISTS
Held across two iconic waterfront venues—TSB Arena and Shed 6—the show offers a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere where art lovers can explore a dynamic collection of work and meet the creators behind it. From emerging voices to established names, the NZ Art Show champions artists from every region of the country.
Since 2004, the event has played a key role in shaping the art market in Aotearoa. Proudly managed by a Charitable Trust, all profits are reinvested into the arts community, supporting creativity at every level.
Whether you’re just starting your collection or are a lifelong enthusiast, you’ll find something to love—sculpture, painting, photography, abstract and traditional works—at a range of prices. More than just an exhibition, the NZ Art Show is a uniquely inspiring experience that celebrates connection, creativity, and community.
Our Vision is for everyone in NZ to own an original NZ art work.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2026
The 2026 NZ Art Show promises an exciting lineup, featuring a fresh selection of emerging and established artists alongside beloved show favourites. The TSB Arena will impress with a diverse array of works, while Shed 6 shines a spotlight on emerging talent and an inspiring sculptural showcase.
