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.

On view: Valerie Bos and Virginia Leonard at @paulnache Gisborne until 19 October. Bos' new paintings feature human-like and creature-like characters. Using chrome cast vinyl and a vibrant palette, her works draw viewers in with their otherworldly imagery. Leonard's ceramic pieces are ornate and visceral, resembling familiar domestic items but transformed into abstract, melting forms. With vibrant colours and gilded accents, her works evoke a fantastical, Baroque sensibility. 📅 On now - 19 October 📍 Gisborne Learn more via @paulnache Pictured: 1 - Valerie Bos, Bewitch, bewitching, bewitched, 2024 2 - Virginia Leonard, Brittle Legs, 2022
