Exhibit at The Arts Village:
The Arts Village has a dynamic exhibitions program with various artists sharing their work throughout the year. We have four beautiful gallery spaces for practicing artists to exhibit & share their work with our local community.
To exhibit at The Arts Village, interested artists must submit an application to The Arts Village team. While exhibition proposals are accepted year round, our team meets twice a year to evaluate each proposal on a case-by-case basis and allocate exhibition space.
There are costs associated with having an exhibition. Once you have your proposal accepted, The Arts Village can help with your funding application to cover some of these costs. More information is available at our information sessions or by contacting The Arts Village staff directly.

At The Arts Village, we pride ourselves on our gallery spaces: Each of these spaces are designed to showcase the artwork of our local artists, community groups, and the wider community.
We understand the importance of finding the right exhibition space to showcase your artwork, which is why we advise scheduling an appointment with our team before applying to exhibit to discuss your ideas. Our staff can answer any questions you may have about exhibiting your work. You can contact us via email or phone.

The Arts Village reviews exhibition proposals in line with The Arts Village Strategic Plan. Priority is given to supporting Rotorua-based artists or artist groups who:
- are in the early stages of their career and have the ability to create quality work and further develop their practice;
- are more established in terms of their exhibition history and the critical attention they have received, but seek to enliven and enrich their practice as they try out new ideas and develop new techniques; and
- have not had a similar exhibition at The Arts Village within the last 12 months.
