Aotearoa’s Premier Weekend of Original Art.

For more than 23 years, the NZ Art Show has brought artists and audiences together on Wellington’s waterfront to discover original art, meet the artists behind it, and experience the creativity shaping Aotearoa.

From first-time buyers to seasoned collectors, the Show is a place to wander, wonder, and connect with art that speaks to you.

In 2026, more than 200 artists from across the country showcased their work, welcoming record crowds and generating over $1.5 million in art sales.

Tickets for the 2027 NZ Art Show will be released later this year.
