Lower Hutt Art Trail

Lower Hutt is thrilled to host its inaugural Art Trail on the weekend of 19-20 October 2024.

This exciting event will feature over 50 artists from across the Lower Hutt region, from Taita to Eastbourne, with the goal of establishing the Art Trail as an annual Open Studio” tradition.

The trail includes 30 stops, showcasing a wide array of artistic disciplines such as painting, pottery, printmaking, collage, textile arts, weaving, glass art, jewellery, woodwork, metalwork, and mixed media. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to view these works in both artists’ studios and various pop-up sites and galleries throughout the city.

For artists, the Art Trail offers a platform to connect with visitors, display their talents, sell their creations, and highlight the vibrant artistic community in Lower Hutt. For visitors, it is a chance to engage with artists, appreciate their work, and purchase or commission pieces directly from the creators, all while experiencing the rich artistic culture of Lower Hutt. The event will also feature exhibitions at Hutt Art, The Learning Connexion, and the Petone Depot, with both the Dowse and Hutt Art offering drop-in workshops throughout the weekend.
