Tauranga Society of Artists Original Art Expo

The Bay's biggest Art Expo all under one roof!

Guest Exhibitors: Bethlehem Pottery Club and Tauranga Floral Art Group

Tauranga Society of Artists is the largest group of artists in the Bay. With nearly 200 members, the Society participates in a wide range of art genres and mediums producing an astounding variety of original artwork.

Following on from our previous highly successful Original Art Expos, the Society is now hosting its largest and most prestigious exhibition ever.

This exhibition will continue with 3 popular features:
People’s Choice Award: Sponsored by Gordon Harris (the Art & Graphic Store), this award gives all our visitors an opportunity to vote for their favourite painting. At the last exhibition, over 1000 people voted, so come along and participate in this event and be in the draw to win an original artwork.

Tiny Art: Introduced at our last 2020 exhibition, Tiny Art proved to be more than popular. In this category society members enter up to 3 miniature artworks, no larger than 150mm x 150mm, with a price cap of $150, making it an economical way to purchase original art for the discerning collector and art buyer. This is also a superb opportunity to purchase art as a gift or present for friends and relatives.

Live Art: Continuing on from our previous exhibitions, members will again be demonstrating their tremendous range of skills. “Art in Action” will include different mediums - oils, acrylic, watercolour, pastel and many more. From portrait drawing to painting, from sketching to illustrating, all will be demonstrated, at various times throughout the four days. So, come along to meet and have a chat with our talented artists.

Cards & Prints: many of our artists produce cards and prints from their artwork. This has always been very popular and will be repeated at this exhibition.

Participating Groups: To compliment this Expo, Tauranga Society of Artists has invited 2 other local art groups to exhibit at this event. Firstly, the highly creative work from the Bethlehem Pottery Club, all of which will be for sale. Secondly there will be beautiful displays produced by the Tauranga Floral Art Group.

This will be a memorable Art Expo so make sure you don’t miss out. Come along and experience beautiful, creative and approachable art, all displayed in the very spacious and well-light gym of Tauranga Boy’s College.

The Tauranga Society of Artists offers members daily opportunities to be involved in workshops, open sessions, tutorials and friendship at their base Art Room in Elizabeth Street East. All their activities are designed to complement and build upon the creativity and skill that goes on in their own homes and studios.
