Queenstown Art Society is a group of creative individuals passionate about art and creativity.

Our Mission is to promote and encourage participation and opportunities in the visual arts for the benefit of Queenstown and the surrounding community.

In Queenstown Arts Society we support local talent by organizing exhibitions, workshops, and Life Drawing classes that foster creativity and artistic growth.

We host a permanent rotating Laneway Showcase at Te Atamira and offer bi-monthly Members Nights to bring our community together. Through these activities, we celebrate and nurture the vibrant visual arts scene in the Queenstown Lakes District from the grassroots up.
