Artbay Gallery at The Classic

Art Meets Automotive

For more than 20 years, Artbay Gallery has been synonymous with exceptional contemporary art, representing an award-winning collection of established New Zealand and international artists from its Queenstown galleries.

For the Ayrburn Classic, Artbay presents a specially curated pop-up where fine art meets beautiful machines, iconic personalities and a sense of the unexpected.

Enter through a specially designed sculpture garden featuring Simon Max Bannister’s celebrated New Zealand birds and animals, before discovering the exhibition inside.

Already an Ayrburn icon, Sally Bulling - whose spectacular mirrored floral installation greets guests at Billy’s - will present a wider collection of her distinctive sculptural works.

Almost a year in the making, Geoff Williams unveils a new collection celebrating some of the world’s most iconic cars, combining evocative landscapes with vintage motoring memorabilia and nostalgia.

World-renowned collage artist Virut immortalises motor racing royalty in larger-than-life Pop Art, while French artist NOART brings his unmistakable wit and irreverence - expect some surprising mirrored reflections of iconic motor vehicles.

We invite Ayrburn Classic guests and our Artbay collectors to visit the Artbay Pop-Up Gallery and experience The Art of the Classic.
