Welcome to the Feilding and District Art Society

Established in 1969, the Feilding and District Art Society is a group of over 180 local artists, working together to enrich our community through visual arts.

From our home at Feilding Art Centre, we host exhibitions by emerging and established artists, run affordable workshops for artists at all stages of their journey, and have a shop filled with unique art objects by local creators. On top of that, we hold Manawatū Art Expo in July each year!

The Feilding and District Art Society is run by a committee dedicated to creating opportunities that connect our community through creativity, so that everyone can make, see and buy great local art.

If you want to support our work, join us as a member or become a volunteer - we would love to meet you!
