More than 20 local artists will open their studio and workspace doors to visitors during the Mahurangi Artist Studio Trail next month.
The trail will be held over two weekends – February 4 to 6 (Waitangi Weekend) and February 11 and 12.
As well, several venues will be open midweek.
An opening night at the Showcase Exhibition, which will run for the duration of the trail, will be held at the Warkworth Town Hall on Thursday, February 4, from 6pm to 8pm.
The event brings together artists from many disciplines, schools and techniques.
Organisers say it provides members of the public with an opportunity to see where local art is being made, talk to artists about their ideas and techniques, watch the artists in action, buy artworks and join art projects.
“There are many artists and craftspeople in the region working with paint, glass, fabrics, photography, wood, jewellery and more,” artist Philippa Stichbury says.
“Visiting a studio or workspace gives an insight into the creative process you wouldn’t get at a regular gallery or exhibition.”
