Mark your calendars! 20 - 29 March 2015
A warm welcome to Whanganui-the Arts Destination of New Zealand
Whanganui is known for its cultural and historical significance as well as for the vibrant creative community who have settled in the region. Combined with our superb restaurants and cafes, river based adventures and historical architecture all ensure a getaway destination for everyone.
The 2015 Artists Open Studios will include the Festival of Glass giving visitors to Whanganui the perfect balance of viewing and participatory events. For two weekends 20-29 March this city will once again wear its art on its sleeve for all to see.
Art, action and heritage:
There are 72 open studios to visit with either individual artists or artist collectives showing their work and working spaces offering a unique glimpse into why we are the Arts Destination of New Zealand. These artists are diverse and work in many media including glass, photography, jewellery, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and drawing. Every space will surprise you with something different; you can use this website and/or the trail guide to select your preferences.
