Manawatū Art Expo - Our Region's Longest Running Art Event!

This cash and carry art show is your opportunity to see and buy original artwork, by emerging and established artists from around New Zealand... right here in the Manawatū!

Artists from as far north as Auckland and as far south as Nelson converged at Palmerston North Conference and Function Centre for Manawatū Art Expo in 2023. Among them was guest artist, Dennis Greenwood. Based in Levin, Dennis is a well-known watercolourist whose large-scale landscapes reflect his passion for the great New Zealand outdoors. Dennis was among half a dozen artists who ran live demos throughout Expo weekend – sharing their practice and inspiring our visitors to give art a go.

Manawatū Art Expo will return to Palmerston North in July 2024, with artist applications opening around 6 months prior. Watch this space!
