Aotearoa Art Fair Sculpture Trail

At the Aotearoa Art Fair, art doesn’t stop at the doors!

Free and open to everyone, the Aotearoa Art Fair Sculpture Trail presented by Viaduct Harbour brings large-scale works out into the city, placing striking sculptures around Auckland’s waterfront, on now until 4 May 2026.
In association with Auckland Live, the trail brings together a lineup of 18 extraordinary artists pushing the boundaries of three-dimensional work throughout the Viaduct Harbour.

Set against the backdrop of Auckland’s beautiful waterfront, this is a unique opportunity to experience art in a whole new dimension. Whether you explore it before or after visiting the Art Fair, it’s an unforgettable part of the experience.
Proudly supported by Auckland Council Events and the city centre targeted rate.
