Art is for everyone. That’s the mantra of The Wellington Art Show. It’s an event for New Zealand artists to display their latest creations. You can meet the artists, view their works, and purchase them when the show comes to Tākina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre. Whatever your budget, you’ll be able to find a treasure to take home and enjoy. You can also watch artists demonstrate their craft and listen to live music.
The organisers think art can make a difference in people’s lives. The artists involved are encouraged to engage directly with the public, communicating information about their practice. It makes for a warm and interesting experience for visitors.
The Wellington Art Show has a range of awards to encourage emerging and established artists. The public can also get involved with a People’s Choice Award. Go visit, enjoy the stellar lineup of kiwi artists and vote for your favourite work.
