The ‘Murwillumbah Arts Trail’ is a major festival for the visual arts and a vibrant community event centred around the regional town of Murwillumbah in far north-eastern New South Wales. The festival showcases 50 artists and creatives who live or work within the region, offering the public a chance to get a behind-the-scenes view of creative processes, learn about new artists in the area, participate in art activities, and purchase art from local artists.
This year, the trail extends to include open studios, historic halls, and pop-up galleries in the surrounding villages, showcasing a diverse range of art forms, including painting, printmaking, jewellery, sculpture, photography, fine glass and mosaics, from 29 to 30 May 2021. The program will also include a selection of fringe events such as street art and live shows, including theatre, poetry, and performance in various heritage-listed art deco locations throughout Murwillumbah.
