Discover Creativity and Talent in the Heart of the Highlands
Calling all art lovers and curious explorers! Immerse yourselves in the vibrant Southern Highlands art scene by following the Arts Trail. This year's event takes place on the weekends of November 9th & 10th and November 16th & 17th, from 10am to 4pm each day.
More than 40 local artist studios will open their doors across both weekends, offering a unique opportunity to meet talented artists, explore their creative spaces, and purchase original works directly from the source. The event showcases a diverse array of artistic mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, and more.
Nestled in the picturesque Southern Highlands, the Arts Trail promises not only artistic inspiration but also a chance to experience the region's natural beauty and hospitality.
"The Southern Highlands Arts Trail is a highlight of our cultural calendar, and we are thrilled to celebrate and showcase a broad array of artists’ works," said Mayor Jesse Fitzpatrick. "It’s a fantastic opportunity for the community to engage with the incredible talent we have here and for visitors to discover the artistic treasures of the Southern Highlands."
"Open Studios continues to give the public a rare opportunity to meet the makers, to see their work in the environment within which it was created and to buy direct from the studio door," said Mayor Fitzpatrick, emphasising the intimate connection between artists and their audience.
Over the two weekends in November, visitors will have the chance to embark on a journey through the Southern Highlands, discovering hidden gems and interacting with artists in their personal creative spaces. From paintings to pottery, sculptures to textiles, the Southern Highlands Arts Trail offers a diverse array of artistic expressions for every taste. Whilst in the region, visitors are encouraged to explore the broader offerings of the Southern Highlands, through nature experiences or the thriving cafe and retail scene.
Whether you are a seasoned art enthusiast or simply looking for a delightful day out, the Southern Highlands Arts Trail offers something for everyone. Mark your calendars and join us for a celebration of creativity, community, and culture.
