Noosa Open Studios

Come & Explore QUEENSLAND’S BIGGEST ART TRAIL | OCTOBER 1-10

Noosa Open Studios has reached a new benchmark in 2021 with some 100 local artists opening their studio doors to both local and interstate art lovers, making this year’s art trail a must-do… With five separate trails to explore, its a great time to hit the hinterland road!

Noosa Open Studios is a not-for-profit enterprise run by volunteers who give their time and expertise to help shape the future for local artists.

Get up close and personal with the artists whose work you love, learn about their creative techniques and processes, and most importantly take home something wonderful for your ongoing pleasure.

All of the artists’ studios will be open for all three days of both weekends, that is, 1st, 2nd, 3rd October and then again 8th, 9th, 10th October. Noosa Open Studios is a self drive event with great Noosa and Beach Trails to explore as well.

On these pages, we give you a taste of just some of those artists who proudly call our Noosa hinterland home. Next edition, we’ll introduce you to some more hinterland based artists that will be part of this year’s Noosa Open Studios Art Trail. Check out all of the exhibiting Noosa Open Studio artists at www.noosaopenstudios.com.au.
