Founded in 2004 and nestled in a historic waterfront cottage in Queenstown, Artbay Gallery showcases an eclectic collection of contemporary New Zealand and international art. Known for its unique art selection, exceptional curation, immersive exhibitions, and friendly service, the gallery offers a rich visual experience that speaks to a wide range of artistic tastes and aesthetic sensibilities.

Our goal is to build a business around making the arts exciting, interesting and accessible for more people. We stand out from the crowd, by offering modern contemporary art for sale, within a friendly Art Destination, with an overall vision of offering our guests an ‘Art Experience’. Our team pride themselves on their knowledge, experience & passion for New Zealand Art, and look forward to welcoming you to the gallery.

We provide a dedicated art consultancy service—supporting clients locally, nationally, and internationally. Whether you're moving into a new home, refreshing interiors, or undertaking a commercial refurbishment, our expert guidance helps you curate with confidence. From selection to placement, we work closely with you to achieve the aesthetic and atmosphere you envision.
