Meet painters, ceramicists, sculptors, printmakers, jewellers, textile artists, photographers and mixed media creatives as they open their studios, demonstrate their techniques and showcase original artworks for sale.

From charming backyard studios and heritage homes to vibrant collective exhibition spaces, each stop offers the chance to see the creative process up close and connect directly with local artists.
