The Surf Coast Arts Trail is your invitation to slow down and discover creativity across one of Victoria’s most inspiring regions.

This vibrant weekend celebration of creativity invites the public into the studios, galleries and creative spaces of local artists across the region.

With more than 60 venues to explore and close to 300 artists taking part, it is a rare opportunity to meet artists where they work, experience art in the making, and discover practices from painting and sculpture to ceramics, textiles and more.

Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time supporter of the Trail, there’s something waiting to inspire around every corner.

Over one inspiring weekend, the region becomes a connected trail of creative discovery, supporting local artists and offering visitors an authentic behind-the-scenes arts experience.
