AOTEAROA ART FAIR

NEXT FAIR:
1 – 4 May 2025
Viaduct Events Centre
Auckland, New Zealand

Aotearoa Art Fair, New Zealand’s premier event for contemporary art, returns to Auckland from 1 – 4 May 2025. One of the most significant art events in New Zealand’s cultural calendar, the Fair welcomes thousands of local and international visitors each year.

The Fair spotlights the breadth and diversity of contemporary art in our region, bringing together leading galleries from New Zealand and Australia to showcase a range of works by emerging and established artists.

Since 2024, the Fair has been under the ownership of the organisers of international art fairs: Sydney Contemporary, Art SG, Taipei Dangdai, and Tokyo Gendai. Leveraging their international expertise and vast network of connections, this promises an exciting future and will take the event to new heights.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector, occasional buyer, or just curious about art, this is your opportunity to browse and buy from hundreds of works. From painting to sculpture, print to ceramics, there’s something for everyone at the Aotearoa Art Fair.

Aotearoa Art Fair 2025 tickets will go on sale in the summer.

GALLERIES

The Aotearoa Art Fair showcases leading galleries from Asia and beyond, offering a comprehensive look at the remarkable diversity of the Asia-Pacific region. Through modern and contemporary works, the Fair presents a wide range of artistic perspectives, highlighting both established and emerging artists in these fields. We invite galleries from across Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and the wider Pacific Rim region to apply to participate in the 2025 Aotearoa Art Fair, taking place from 1 – 4 May at the Viaduct Events Centre, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
