Quirky and creative arts and crafts can be found in Nelson and throughout the country. Art is very much a part of our Kiwi culture. All of the metropolitan centres around the country have exciting public art galleries and exhibitions, as well as dealer galleries. Many regions have high concentrations of painters, craftspeople, sculptors, photographers, printers and carvers – perhaps because of the inspiring landscapes. But don’t limit yourself to just these locations; many superb pieces can be found all over the country.

Nelson: Nelson City has a compact, commercial centre dotted with art and craft galleries, cafes and restaurants. Attractions include World of WearableArt & Collectible Cars museum, historic homes, a central city cathedral and pioneer park, beautiful public gardens and excellent civic gallery, music school, and a provincial museum. Activities include 4WD motor biking through native bush, the Skywire (a high tech, high speed flying fox), tandem skydiving, horse trekking, sailing charters, brewery and winery tours and guided art and craft tours. A popular event, Nelson Arts Festival, celebrates the artistic nature of the region.
