Showing Favourites:  a collection of art from local private collections 

8th February - 15th March 2024

In association with the Arrowtown Creative Arts Society and their summer 'Gardens & Galleries' series, we are hosting 'Showing Favourites'.

First held in 2009, the exhibition will showcase the favourite works of local collectors and residents - works that aren't usually seen by the public. We live in a region of art lovers and there are definitely some gems tucked away in homes around Arrowtown, Queenstown & Wanaka.
