“This year’s Aotearoa Art Fair offered one of the most engaging and connected atmospheres I’ve experienced at international art fairs. We enjoyed meaningful exchanges with new collectors, strong sales, and incredibly positive feedback. The calibre of presentations and the Viaduct sculpture trail added real depth, reaffirming the strength of a community committed to a thriving visual arts scene in Aotearoa — the result of a collaborative effort between galleries, artists, and the Fair team.”
Anna Jackson, Co-Director, Gow Langsford
“2025 was clearly the most successful fair yet. A truly world class event. We were amazed at the number of collectors who’d travelled from within NZ and also the huge numbers from Australia. They were all having a ball too, and not just at the fair, but broadly within Auckland. Events like this are a wonderful reflection of the cultural depth and importance of Auckland and bring a huge amount of positivity. And crudely, the fairs are about sales and, they were very strong across the board. Can’t wait until 2026!”
Dominic Feuchs, Director, STARKWHITE
