Artists invited to join studio trail

Mahurangi artists are invited to join the Mahurangi Artists’ Studio Trail (MAST) giving them the chance to showcase their work to a wider public and find inspiration and friendship by connecting with fellow artists.

Organiser Alysn Midgelow-Marsden says the success of the 2019 MAST event gave the Mahurangi Artists Network the courage to get “bigger and bolder” for 2020.

The MAST 2020 studio trail will run from October 24 to 26.

Last year’s event featured artists and craftspeople working with paint, glass, fabrics, photography, wood, jewellery and other media.     

The public was given a map for the trail to visit various artist’s studios along it. They had the chance to watch artists demonstrate their craft, talk to them about their ideas and purchase works of art.   

Alysn says artists should not be shy about joining in for 2020.

“Don’t be stopped by wondering what people will say – everyone in the network and visitors on the trail dates are friendly and enthusiastic. You can choose to be greeting visitors at your studio, or, if you don’t have a suitable studio, we have spaces for you to share,” she says.  

Artists can sign up through the website: mahurangiartistnetwork.com
