    Best Art Gallery in Queenstown
    Amazing art gallery! Loved the selection of art here, they’re showcasing lots of different styles and mediums and very impressive work from some extremely talented artists! Great range to choose from. The staff were super informative and friendly. They also have two other gallery spaces across the road with contemporary light works and a solo exhibition space upstairs. Completely free to just wander in and take your time. Was great to see some international artists as well as all the fantastic NZ art. Definitely well worth a visit! We went on the first Thursday of the month when the art galleries in Queenstown are open a little later in the evening and serving complimentary wine. We were so thrilled to meet Trevor Askin, bronze artist. Was a real treat.
    Thank you for taking the time to review us Yellowstairs! We truly appreciate it.

    Great art, friendly and relaxed
    I have visited many galleries around the world and I would have to say, in most cases they are intimidating. One of the most pleasant experiences with Artbay is you immediately feel welcome, the staff are friendly and the environment is pleasant and relaxed. The art feels accessible and there is such an incredible range of styles. Such a great location and building.
    Thank you for taking the time to review us Stephen B! We truly appreciate it.

Artbay owns two galleries in Queenstown, one is a little chocolate box at street level and the other across the road is upstairs with a more spacious feel and the most amazing view out over Lake Wakatipu. The artworks are of a very diverse and high caliber, my faves being work by Russian artist, ILYA VOLYKHINE and New Zealander JOHN SHEWRY. Definitely worth a visit!

Good place to spend 15-30 minutes. Predominantly hanging artwork, apparently 2/3 local artists. A small place but worth a squizz.

We enjoyed our time in this gallery, the staff were welcoming and offered so much information on the artists we were interested in.
We also visited their exhibition gallery were they had a show by Sam Foley, a Dunedin artist.
