The independent charitable trust will present artworks by Wakatipu and national artists in the Cloakroom Gallery, on the corner of Stanley and Ballarat Sts, and all for less than $500 each.
Represented artists include Graham Brinsley, Claire Worrall, Lyndal Cruickshank, Sandra McElrea, Joyce Drury and Kelvin McMillan.
All contributing artists will give between 25% and 100% of their commission to Queenstown Cat Rescue.
Volunteers rescued and adopted out 28 kittens and 12 adult cats last season, cat fosterer Ave Migias, of Frankton, said.
"At the moment we have eight cats to rehome [and] within the next month, we will be busy with kittens."
The exhibition runs from this Friday to next Monday, 10am to 4pm.
