Discover the Creativity of Margaret River Region Open Studios 2026

Bali

Every spring, the Margaret River Region transforms into one of Australia's most inspiring creative destinations as artists throw open the doors to their studios, inviting visitors to step behind the scenes of their creative worlds. The Margaret River Region Open Studios is the largest event of its kind in Australia, offering a rare opportunity to meet artists in their own workspaces, watch demonstrations, hear the stories behind their creations and purchase original artworks directly from the makers. In 2026, the event runs from 12–27 September, featuring more than 150 artists across the region.

From painters and ceramicists to sculptors, photographers, jewellers, textile artists and woodworkers, every studio visit offers something unique. Whether you're an experienced art collector, a creative soul looking for inspiration, or simply someone who enjoys discovering hidden gems, Open Studios is an unforgettable way to experience the Margaret River Region.


Travel Beyond the Gallery

One of the joys of Open Studios is that no two visits are ever the same. Wander through converted barns, beachside workshops, family homes, vineyards and purpose built studios while meeting the artists who call this beautiful region home. Along the way you'll also enjoy everything Margaret River is famous for, world class food and wine, spectacular coastline, charming country roads and warm local hospitality.
