Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in an artist’s studio? Over the weekend of 19-20 July, the Central Coast will come alive with creativity as local artists and makers open their studio doors for the Creative Journey open studio art trail.

With over 40 studios and creative spaces to explore from the coast to the hinterland, you’ll discover an inspiring mix of sculptures, drawings, mixed media, ceramics, paintings and more.

Central Coast Council Director Community and Recreation Services, Melanie Smith said the annual program is a chance to celebrate and support the region’s vibrant creative community.

“This is a unique opportunity to step inside artists’ studios, see how they work, and connect with their stories and creative process,” Ms Smith said.

“Visitors can immerse themselves in something new, learn new skills in a workshop or browse incredible art pieces and buy an original artwork to take home.”

Central Coast Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said Creative Journey showcases the quality and diversity of local artists while strengthening our creative industry.

“This program raises the profiles of our local makers and creators, giving them a platform to share their skills, knowledge and practices with both the community and visitors to our region,” Mayor McKinna said.

“It’s also a wonderful way to experience the beauty of our region – from coastal cottages to bush studios – as you follow the trail across the Central Coast.”

Creative Journey open studio art trail is on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 July.
