Our artists

Our artists are our everything for our exhibitions. Their creative ideas, skills, time, patience and financial investment into their works is what creates our collective exhibition every two years.

We’re proud to have had well over one hundred New Zealand artists exhibit in this outdoor exhibition since it started in 2007. Our exhibitions are much anticipated and enjoyed by over 400,000 visitors every exhibition. Submissions are called for in November in odd years. If you’re interested in being considered for the next exhibition please follow us on social media or subscribe to our eNews for notifications of when entries open. We support our exhibiting artists with a stipend, bring them all together for an artists working day, promote sales of their works and provide engineering support from Airey consultants, Beca and Structure Design. 

We look forward to further showcasing talented New Zealand artists to our numerous visitors.
