Margaret River artists make final flourishes before annual Open Studios event next month

More than 100 artists in WA's beautiful south west are making final preparations to open their private studios to the West Australian public for next month's Margaret River Region Open Studios. The 7th annual Open Studios event was originally scheduled for April/May but was postponed to September due to COVID-19.

There is a definite sense of excitement amongst participating artists in the lead up to the September 12 to 27 event. Artists have been busy creating. Some have been influenced by the impact of COVID-19, others have turned to nature or to environmental themes of re-purposing and sustainability, and others to life's simple pleasures. A number of artists are planning small-group workshops for children, novices, amateur artists and those with more experience.

Event organisers are grateful for the opportunity to be able to welcome visitors from across WA to share their passion for artistic pursuits and the Margaret River Region.

Margaret River Region Open Studios features painters, sculptors, illustrators, jewellers, printmakers, glassblowers, ceramicists, potters, photographers, furniture makers, woodworkers, textile artists, metalworkers, mixed media artists and upcyclers. Some have lived in the Margaret River region for many years and others hail from other corners of the world and now call it home, living on farms, in town, on rural retreats, in the forest or on the coast.
