We are taking a break in 2027 as we shift back to our original date at the end of summer. Our next open studio event will be on the weekend of 19-20 February 2028. Artists and makers across the shire of Campaspe will open their studio doors to the public. Entry is free.
Our open studios weekend is about creating the opportunity for a less formal, more personal engagement between our audiences and our artists and makers. You get a sneak peak into our creative practices and places.
Our goals
- Foster community engagement with the arts and local artists and makers by providing an opportunity for the public to:
- gain an insight into the creativity that often goes unnoticed behind closed doors
- observe the workings of studios across a variety of creative mediums
- enjoy practical demonstrations
- buy artworks directly from the artist
- Provide an avenue for local artists to promote and sell their work
- Create a network of artists and makers within the region, to enable:
- the studio trail event to continue annually and grow over time
- mentoring of emerging artists within the network
- opportunities for further collaborations between local artists
- opportunities for future arts events
- Increase engagement between artists and community arts venues in the region
- Create an annual arts event on the local tourism calendar
Funding
This project would not have been possible without:
- an initial grant from the Foundation for Regional and Rural Renewal that funded our 2025 and 2026 events
- auspicing by Kyabram Town Hall Inc.
