Blackwood River Arts Trail – 28 March to 6 April 2026

The Blackwood River Arts Trail immerses you in the vibrant arts scene of Western Australia’s Blackwood River Valley. From Donnybrook, Balingup, Greenbushes, Boyup Brook, Bridgetown and Nannup you can visit artists in their studios, galleries and cafes. The Trail also features a film festival in the towns of Boyup Brook, Bridgetown, Balingup and Nannup, where you can enjoy short and featured films.

Over ten days, discover artists working across mosaics, textiles, glass, eco-dyeing, ceramics, sculpture and painting in their creative spaces. Plan your journey by downloading the Trail Program Guide from the website: https://www.blackwoodriverartstrail.com or collect a printed copy from regional visitor centres or Jacksons Drawing Supplies. The guide includes full details on open studios, workshops, local attractions, events, and all film festival screenings to help you plan your getaway.

This year it is especially exciting as, for the first time, Boyup Brook is hosting a Plein Air event on Saturday 28 March, where artists will be coming from all over the state to paint outdoor vistas of this beautiful town. Prize money is generously sponsored by the Boyup Brook Co-op.

Whether you’re a devoted art wanderer or dipping your toes into the creative world for the first time, the Blackwood River Arts Trail offers something rare: the chance to meet artists where they dream, work, and create — in their homes, studios, galleries, and gardens throughout the Blackwood Valley.
