Queenstown Arts Society

Queenstown Arts Society The Queenstown Arts Society (QAS) is committed to growing and supporting visual arts in Tahuna/Queenstown.

We do this through exhibitions, art classes, workshops, artist mentorship and support, artist studios and community outreach programmes. For many years we have been based in the The Queenstown Arts Centre - a beautiful and soulful historic building in the heart of the Queenstown CBD.

2022 will see us expanding our community footprint as move beyond our Ballarat Street location - forging a new and

brave path that goes well beyond the old school house we've occupied until now. It's an exciting journey ahead - we hope you join us for an amazing creative adventure!
