There are also studios further afield that offer the opportunity to discover the scenic landscapes surrounding charming country roads that wind their way through rural and bush landscapes. A range of art forms can be found along the trail, including sculpture, painting, ceramics, textile and wearable art, mosaics, weaving, felting, illustration, and photography.
Discover local art and explore the natural beauty of the region. With rolling hills, forests, and the Blackwood River, the area is dotted with small villages and local food and wine experiences. A printed guide informs visitors about various art, sculpture and mural trails found in surrounding towns, as well as workshops to participate in during the event. Also, the Blackwood River Film Festival returns, presenting films by Australian filmmakers in Bridgetown and Nannup, and revealing the diverse art across the area.
