Fine art and exclusive exhibitions and events that inspire, encourage, educate and entertain while recognising excellence in visual arts.
Dedicated to presenting the work of outstanding New Zealand-based artists with a unique style that stands out and moves you, The Art Lounge NZ is a vibrant fine art gallery and sophisticated events venue on Willow Street, Downtown Tauranga. Since 2014 this exciting art space has presented a carefully curated collection of award-winning, established and emerging artists whose work is mostly abstract, nature, portraits or surreal.
Mira Corbova, creative director and owner of The Art Lounge NZ, has a big following locally, nationally and internationally.
“I shifted industries when I came to New Zealand nine years ago, from working in busy corporate roles in London to following my passion to work with art here in beautiful New Zealand, my home,” she says.
“It’s pure joy to collaborate with each artist I represent and to bring sparkle to my clients’ day with beautiful art.”
In conjunction with a group of selected local artists, Mira and her team have recently opened a second galley, The Art Lounge NZ Auckland in Howick.
“It is nestled between the best coffee shops in town and will fill a need for East Auckland and the wider community. To date, there was nowhere close for locals to view and purchase art of this quality, or commission fabulous artists to create a special artwork to love and cherish for years to come,” Mira says.

She will travel between Tauranga and Auckland and add her expertise to the running and promotion of the Howick gallery. Exhibitions, wine/gin tastings, poetry nights, and more exceptional events are planned in both spaces to stimulate the senses.
“We envision our two galleries as a vibrant visual space for the local community and city visitors to enjoy and to be inspired through creativity. It’s accessible to everyone and our motto is ‘connecting through art’ which is exactly what we do.”
At both galleries, the aim is to inspire and encourage everyone through creativity, while offering a unique art shopping experience and entertainment.
