New Zealand's unique creativity has grown from a marriage of diverse cultures and pure Kiwi ingenuity. Armed with your Art Trail Map, printable from this site, you can easily visit galleries, museums and artists studios which provide a perennial glimpse of New Zealand’s artistic and creative endeavours. The idea of this website was masterminded by a well-known New Zealand artist as a helpful tool to further showcase New Zealand creativity to the world as well as provide an online community for artists and art followers.

This site features galleries, museums and studios of New Zealand artists who open their doors to the public. If you enjoy finding your way around art trails as much as we do, then this site is for you, simply click on one of the coloured pins on the NZ map shown to the left and follow the link to the Google artstrail map of the region or go to the arts trail page. Once you are on an arts trail, the gold or silver pins indicate the locations of the venues and clicking them provde details. Using the maps on this website as a guide, you will meet some of New Zealand’s creative community, openly friendly and happy to showcase their home-grown art to you.
