A weekend to meet with the creative minds who make amazing artwork in their home studios just over an hour from Melbourne. Take the self-guided tour. Listen to the story behind the work, browse and buy direct from the maker.

With an abundance of artists, wineries, cafes and fresh produce farms in the West Gippsland region, the Open Studios tour map reads like a treasure hunt for the senses; a brilliant excuse for a country drive, to venture off the beaten track, switch off to the modern world, see some inspiring artwork, eat, drink and navigate the spectacular scenery.

The wide range of artisans will demonstrate their techniques, describe their inspirations and give you opportunities to buy new work.

Open Studios is on 9 & 10 April. Attend as many studios as you like with your $10 weekend pass around Warragul, Drouin and Neerim South. Kids U18 are free. Studios are open from 10.00am – 5.00pm.
