Guides to the world of art. 

Art Guides World is for the cultrually curious, supporting access to the arts through guided art tours and interviews with local art professionals.

We draw attention to cities where the art world congregate, such as during art fairs and biennales from Aotearoa to Zürich.

The art world can seem mysterious and impenetrable. We believe art and culture belongs to everyone and see it is a powerful force for gaining new perspectives.

Everyone has unique insight. Artists, curators, gallerists, and collectors are our favorite interviewees because they share alternative ways of seeing, providing captivating opportunities for exchange and learning.

With art, it’s more than ok to begin without knowing. When we meet in person, every question can lead to an enriching conversation, and we are excited to be on the journey with you.

Join us to discover what you might not usually see both on and off the well known path, aided by expert guides and special events where you’ll be welcomed as an insider.

Art Guides World is founded in Aotearoa New Zealand coinciding with Art Week 2025 by Ché Zara Blomfield, who has over 15 years experience in the international art world, including as a collector, gallerist, and curator of over 50 exhibitions in seven countries.
