Margaret River Region Open Studios is set for a Bumper 10th anniversary event this spring. There are 166 artists, 44 new studios, 3 new exhibitions and all your favourite art forms. This free event is a rare opportunity to explore private art studios; to smell the linseed oil, see clay take shape on the wheel, timber being carefully carved, and metal being melded.
There are special events to celebrate the 10-year milestone, including Breakfast with Art Ambassador and multi-award winning Australian artist Michael Zavros and a special Anniversary Art Dinner in the sumptuous surroundings of Aravina Estate.
The free event runs 9 to 24 September 2023. Pick up a free Event Guide or follow @margaretriverregionopenstudios (IG) or /MRROpenStudios (Facebook) to find out more.
