What is Vic Park Open Studios?
Open Studios is part of the Arts Season 2027 program. The Town is looking for local artists or art groups to open their studio doors to the public during one weekend of Arts Season (17 and 18 April).
Open Studios invites the community to step inside the creative process of local artists, see them at work, and even purchase artworks directly from the makers themselves!

What do I present to the public during Vic Park Open Studios?
During Open Studios, the artists present their creative process, tools, and work-in-progress artworks to give visitors an inside look at how their art is made. They can also showcase finished works, share the stories behind their inspiration, and demonstrate techniques to help visitors appreciate the effort and skill involved. While artists can sell their work, it remains an open studio rather than a marketplace, emphasising the authentic, behind-the-scenes experience of the artist’s studio practice. The goal is to provide an engaging, educational, and inspiring visit that highlights the creative process.
