2026 Surf Coast Arts Trail

Proudly presented by Surf Coast Shire, the Surf Coast Arts Trail is an annual celebration of creativity that invites you behind the scenes of one of Victoria's most vibrant creative communities.

Across one inspiring weekend, more than 300 artists open over 65 studios, galleries and creative spaces, welcoming visitors to experience art where it is made. Meet the makers, watch artists at work, hear the stories behind their practice and purchase original artwork directly from the source.

From painting, ceramics and sculpture to photography, jewellery, textiles, glass and more, the Trail showcases an extraordinary range of creative talent.

Travel through Aireys Inlet, Anglesea, Bellbrae, Bells Beach, Deans Marsh, Freshwater Creek, Gherang, Jan Juc, Lorne, Moriac, Torquay and Winchelsea, discovering hidden studios and creative spaces while enjoying everything the Surf Coast has to offer.

Whether you're planning a day trip or a weekend escape, the Surf Coast Arts Trail is your chance to slow down, explore the region and connect with local artists in a truly unique way.
