Rotorua is a fantastic place to experience and enjoy art made locally, nationally and internationally. 

Renowned for Maori cultural experiences, Rotorua is home to some of Aotearoa/New Zealand's leading Maori artists with work presented at the Rotorua Museum of Art and History and leading contemporary art galleries.

A growing number of artists call Rotorua home, enriching the Rotorua community and contributing to local arts programmes. Our story is evolving and we invite you to learn more about Rotorua artists and arts projects that contribute to a very Creative Rotorua!
