Throughout June and July, the private workshops and studios of some of the region’s most celebrated artists will be open to visitors as part of the 2019 Gympie Region Studio Trails.

Held over four weekends from 15/16 June 2019, the Studio Trails gives visitors the opportunity to meet the artists, view a live demonstration or participate in an activity. More than 25 artists will be opening their creative spaces to share their artistic journey and showcase their unique artworks.

Councillor Bob Fredman said that the Studio Trails are not only a wonderful way to showcase the creative talents of artists, artisans and arts collectives throughout the Gympie region, but also an opportunity to get up close and personal with artists. “Everyone has a story to tell, and listening to these artists’ journeys and how their journeys have impacted their art will no doubt be very interesting,” said Cr Fredman.

The Studio Trails will be open to visitors over the following weekends in June and July:

15-16 June 2019 – Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach 22-23 June 2019 – Northern Gympie 29-30 June 2019 – Gympie and surrounds 6-7 July 2019 – The Mary Valley.

Most of the art works on display at the various studios will be for sale and many of the artists are available to undertake commissioned works.
