The crowd pleasing Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail is back this October long weekend.
Local organisers expect another great turnout for this year’s event thanks to the quality of the works by both veteran artists as well as the debut of first-time exhibitors.
Winding through the suburbs of Killcare Heights, Killcare, Hardys Bay, Pretty Beach and Wagstaffe, the Arts Trail is an opportunity to meet the artists in their studios and workshops, where the creativity begins.
The Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail had its humble beginnings in the 1980s and has since attracted locals as well as visitors from Sydney all the way through to Newcastle.
This year 21 artists will be showing a wide range works, including painting, ceramics, woodwork, jewellery, photography and textile art.
It’s a diverse collection and truly something for everyone.
Wood sculptor Leanne Koppen said the Arts Trail had become a fan favourite both locally and further afield, with many
people making a weekend of it and visiting every year.
Ceramicist Rachel Lucas says the Trail is a fabulous way to discover the artistic richness and diversity in our community.
As always, the artists will be on hand to chat, educate and inspire visitors and everything will be available to purchase and make its way to new homes and venues.
This year’s event is generously sponsored by The Fat Goose Killcare and Ray White realtors, centrally located in Killcare.
Local sponsors have been instrumental in supporting the promotion of this annual event, ensuring that the Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail is not only a local experience, but an event which attracts visitors from far and wide.
The Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail opens at 9am on both Saturday and Sunday, October 5 and 6.
