Arts

Central Otago is indescribably beautiful. Dramatic untamed landscapes, wide open valleys, orchards of fruit trees and vines set against enormous blue skies, contrasting potent seasons - no wonder it inspires the creative like no other.

This place of extremes stirs the soul and, for artists, it is a perfect backdrop to explore ideas and inspire innovative design.

Discover the creative talent of the many local artists who are proud to call Central Otago home. Here you'll find painters, print makers, poets, performers, ceramic artists, sculptors, fashion designers and textile artists, jewellers, musicians, metal workers, film makers, photographers, wood workers, furniture makers and writers. 

Discover them for yourself on the Central Otago Arts Trail.
