A weekend full of Events,
Demos, Talks and Fun!
Guided Art Trail Tours
A guided tour through multiple art studios and installations on the trail, with a knowledgeable host sharing background information and highlights along the way. This creates a structured experience that ensures visitors see the best of the trail while learning about the art and artists featured.

Live Art Demos
Artists showcase their techniques through live demonstrations, including painting, pottery, sculpture, and mixed media. Visitors can observe the methods, ask questions, and see art come to life right in front of them.

Hands-On Art Workshops
Guided workshops where participants can try their hand at various art forms, from printmaking to clay modeling or watercolor painting. These workshops would be a great way for guests to create their own take-home art piece and learn something new.

Studio Open Houses
A chance to tour the artists' personal studios, observe their creative spaces, and engage with them directly about their work. This intimate experience lets visitors gain insight into each artist's process and inspiration.

Spend the weekend discovering local artists in their studios, taking part in art experiences, and wandering through the many cafés, restaurants, and beautiful beaches dotted around the Hibiscus & Bays area.
