The Queenstown Art Society was formed in 1962 in response to a few amateur artists wanting to hold an Exhibition. One of the founding members, Irene Adamson,is still a member today and sometimes exhibits at our annual November Exhibition. The Society has held an exhibition nearly every year since then.

The Society has a permanent 'home' in the old Wakatipu secondary school science laboratories. One end of the block houses the Studios and the other end workshop space and the Cloakroom Gallery. They have been added to and parts demolished over the years but serve as a focus for the Arts in the area. There have been plans for many years to build a large Arts Centre on the site combining the performing and visual arts groups in one building - we hope to live to see the day.
Our aim, as a very hard working group, is to promote and encourage art in the Wakatipu Valley (a valley that encloses both the tourist mecca of Queenstown and historic Arrowtown).

Dominic works in a wide variety of media, including pencil and charcoal, ink, oil and acrylic paint as well as digital photography.  At the moment he is experimenting and exploring and the work featured here reflects this, from language and text based work to portraits to his own study and interpretations of the local land and town-scape.  Commissions and/patronage welcome.

"Dom plans to continue to experiment, explore and enjoy the local life for as long as it takes, and can't think of anywhere better to be right now."
