Our sixth Pegasus Bay Art Show is being held on 5 and 6 April 2025 – and it promises to be another great event, with something for everyone. Over 60 professional artists from throughout canterbury will be exhibiting a wide variety of artworks for sale at the show.

There will also be artwork on display created by the students of Pegasus Bay School.

The opening of the show on Friday 4 April from 7pm is a ticketed event and gives you the first opportunity to purchase the stunning artworks on show. Keep an eye on our Website for details of how to purchase opening night tickets.

Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 the show is open from 10am-4pm, and is just a gold coin donation entry.

Our art show is a community event and fundraiser with 25% commission from the art sales coming back to our kura. We use the money raised to purchase art supplies for the students and the rest will be put towards subsidising the costs of arts related trips and events for all students. In 2023 we ‘shut the school’ and bussed everyone into town to see the ballet. We are hoping to raise enough to fund a theatre trip for everyone later in 2025.
