Taranaki Art Show 2027
Boutique Art Show in Ngāmotu New Plymouth
Where creativity connects community
The Taranaki Art Show 2026 has now wrapped, and what a special few days it was.
Across three vibrant days at the TSB Stadium mezzanine, we welcomed visitors from near and far to experience a curated collection of artists from across Aotearoa. From bold, statement pieces to quiet, thoughtful works, the show offered moments to pause, connect, and discover something you truly love.
To everyone who walked through the doors, had a conversation, supported an artist, or took a piece home — thank you. This show is built on those connections.
