The Summer Open Studio Trail will be held from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 January, with more than 50 studios throughout the Bega Valley opening their doors to art and creative enthusiasts, under COVID Safe conditions.

Council’s Bega Valley Regional Gallery Director, Iain Dawson said the Summer Open Studio Trail is a brilliant opportunity for locals and visitors to explore the rich creative talents on offer across the shire.

“After two years of major disruptions, our creatives and artists are eager to show what they’ve been working on during this time,” Mr Dawson said.

“The Summer Open Studio Trail will offer the very best of our ceramics, paintings, sculptures, photography, jewellery, mosaics, textile art, fabrics and more.

“You can try your hand at the potter’s wheel in Verona or watch the creatives in action in Pambula, Tura Beach, Eden, Bega, Tantawanglo, Bermagui and Tathra.

“Every participating studio has an exhibition of their best works, which are also for sale; something unique for your collection or to remember your stay in our beautiful region.”

The Summer Open Studio Trail website lists the studios in our north, south, Sapphire Coast and Bega and surrounds.

The website also provides suggestions for places to stay and eat so you can make the most of your long weekend.
