Return to Eden Gallery

Return to Eden Gallery is a proudly independent rural art gallery located in Rapaura, in the heart of Marlborough wine country on the Saint Clair Estate. For many years, we have provided a welcoming space where local artists and artisans can share their work with visitors and collectors from throughout New Zealand and around the world.

Supporting local creative talent is at the heart of what we do. We are proud to represent and showcase the work of more than 40 Marlborough artists and makers, providing opportunities for both emerging and established creatives to exhibit their work in a professional gallery setting. Our collection includes artists at every stage of their careers,

from those exhibiting publicly for the first time through to highly regarded practitioners whose works are held in private and international collections.

The gallery presents a diverse range of mediums, styles and price points, ensuring there is something to inspire every visitor. Our exhibitions and displays feature original paintings, sculpture, ceramics, glass art, jewellery, textiles, woodwork and contemporary craft, reflecting the depth and diversity of Marlborough's creative community.

Set amongst vineyards and surrounded by the beauty of the Marlborough landscape, Return to Eden offers visitors the opportunity to discover authentic local art in a relaxed and welcoming environment. We believe creativity enriches communities, and we are committed to supporting local artists by helping connect their work with new audiences and collectors.

Whether you are an art enthusiast, a visitor exploring Marlborough, or someone looking for a unique piece with a genuine local story, our gallery celebrates the talent, creativity and craftsmanship that make our region so special.
