The Queenstown Art Show | Labour Weekend 2026

Make the most of Labour Weekend and immerse yourself in an inspiring celebration of art at the Queenstown Art Show.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of Queenstown, the show brings together an exciting and diverse line-up of artists from across the Central South Island, throughout Aotearoa, and further afield. Discover original artworks, meet the artists behind them, and find something special to take home.

All exhibiting artists are onsite throughout the show, giving you the opportunity to meet the makers, hear the stories behind their work, and connect with the people who create it.

Throughout the weekend, you can also enjoy live artist demonstrations, offering a behind-the-scenes look at different creative processes and techniques.

Explore a dynamic collection of contemporary and traditional artworks, including:

Large-scale and traditional wall art
Contemporary works
Sculpture
Ceramics
Jewellery
Textiles
Object art
And much more

Large-scale sculpture is also a feature of the Queenstown Art Show — a rare opportunity to experience and purchase substantial sculptural works within an art show setting.
