The talents of 39 local artists will be showcased at 23 venues during the annual Mahurangi Artists’ Studio Trail, which will be held at the start of February.
Excitingly, this year’s event includes nine artists who are new to the trail.
Organisers say the trail brings together artists from many disciplines whose work represents a range of styles and techniques.
“There will be something for everyone – ceramics, mixed media, painting, textiles, jewellery, wood sculpture, glass work, garden art, contemporary Māori weaving, photography, printmaking and even some World of Wearable Art garments.”
The trail also gives visitors an opportunity to criss-cross through the picturesque Mahurangi countryside and visit the artists in their work spaces.
“They can talk to artists about their ideas and techniques and have insight into the creative processes that drive them.
“At some venues, there will be the opportunity to participate in a workshop of pottery, mural making or creative stitching, and to make and create on site with the artist.”
An Opening Night preview will be held at the Warkworth Town Hall on February 1, and artworks will be displayed at studios, workspaces and galleries around the Mahurangi region, from February 2 to 11.
All information for the trail is on the free trail brochure, available at the Warkworth Information Centre, local libraries, cafes and galleries and at the members’ art showcase in the Warkworth Town Hall. Alternatively, visit www.mahurangiartistnetwork.com/art-trail-24
