October Long Weekend 2024 – Plan a Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail Weekend
The beautiful Bouddi Peninsula is home to some amazingly talented artists and the annual Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail is a unique way to connect with them. Meet artists in their studios or workshops and catch a glimpse of how and why they create their artworks. The inspiration provided by the beautiful Bouddi National Park, tranquil bays and surf beaches means many of the works reflect the stunning local environment.
This October Long Weekend (5th and 6th), a diverse group of 22 local artists from Killcare Heights through to Wagstaffe are once again opening their studios. Their work includes water colour, oil and acrylic painting, photography, natural fibre work, woodwork, ceramics, printmaking, mixed media, sculpture, canvas and leatherwork, and silver jewellery.
Open studios will be flying a red flag and you can follow the Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail map to find them. Spend a day, or two, visiting the studios and stop in to our local shops and eateries to recharge your batteries. There really is something for everyone.
Information on the artists, their work and the Trail Map can be found on the Bouddi Peninsula Arts Trail website, Instagram or Facebook. Maps are also available in local businesses and at each studio.

Debbie is a landscape painter, but with an abstracted edge. Her works are not ‘views’, but a combination of elements that she has observed, challenging the conventional notion of realism. There are multiple moments in almost all her works, nothing remains static for long in the landscape.
