Artist Application Portal: The Tauranga Art Show, Mercury Baypark Arena.

The Tauranga Art Show, part of Art Shows Across Aotearoa, invites artists to apply for an artist pack to display their work on a panel at the Mercury Baypark Arena. The show runs from 28 to 30 August 2026. Applicants must submit a short artist bio, high‑resolution images of their artwork (up to 15 MB), bank account details for commission payments, and may optionally provide an MP4 video.

Successful applicants receive a dedicated panel space, lighting, and the opportunity to sell their work to a large audience of art‑connoisseurs. The event is free to enter for artists, with prompt payment after the show.

Artists can also enter the Art Shows Across Aotearoa Gold Award at the same venue, which offers additional prize and exposure opportunities.
