Newstead Open Studios art trail is a locally inspired and crafted event, held annually since 2015 and based in and around Newstead, in the heart of Victoria’s goldfields region.
Each year artists open their studios to visitors. There will be lots of beautiful and diverse art for sale at each of the studios, you might even make a purchase or two.
As well as many of the regulars, you’ll find some new artists and studios in the mix.
This year the lineup of 18 artists plus two group shows includes printmakers, jewellers, painters, potters, sculptors and more. For an overview of each individual artist’s work go to www.newsteadopenstudios.org.
At the Newstead Arts Hub the second Small Sculpture Exhibition and Prize and a group show at the RedShed Arts Workshop.
The central goldfields town of Newstead is 10 minutes from Castlemaine and 20 minutes from Daylesford. Studios are open Friday to Monday on the 2025 Labour Day long weekend, March 7-10, 10am-4pm.
