MAJOR ARTS EVENT RETURNS TO BOUDDI PENINSULA
Following the Bouddi Peninsula Trail Map to the artists’ studios which are identified by a red flag will enable you to discover local artisans during the October long weekend. The Trail culminates in further works at the Arts Show at the Wagstaffe Hall. Artist studios will be open on Saturday 30 September and Sunday 1 October 2023 from 9.00am.
The Arts Trail itself is a unique way in which to meet the artists in their studios and workshops and discuss what inspires them and how they create their works of art. The Peninsula has a lot to offer visitors seeking natural beauty with its sweeping coastal vistas, idyllic uncrowded beaches in our surrounding national parks. Local contemporary artist, Inel Date said "Bouddi National Park with its walking trails, secluded beaches and towering Angophoras provides inspiration for much of my work."
A record number of artists are participating this year and they will be showcasing a diverse range of art media. Including ceramics, leather and wood, sculpture, paint (inc. indigenous), photos, paper and print, driftwood and found objects, fibre and woven material.
Jean Scott, Co Ordinator for the Trail said “We’d love to meet you and share our work practice with you. It’s a great way to spend the Long Weekend and with so many artists this year there is something for everyone.”
The Trail Map is on our website and is available at local shops, restaurants and the Maitland Bay Information Centre on Scenic Road.
