Welcome

WAI ART SHOW is an annual exhibition held in September at the Wairarapa Events Centre in Holloway Street, Carterton. The show exhibits a diverse range of 2D artworks by local artists and from across New Zealand. The 3-day event attracts over 3,000 visitors and coincides with the Carterton Daffodil Day. It’s a cash-and-carry sale, with the opportunity for artists to replace their work as pieces sell.
