Open Studios ends tomorrow!
It`s been another wonderful year, with so many art lovers coming from near and far to meet the artists and explore their studios.
A big thanks to all the artists taking part. Once again their passion and energy has made this an Open Studios to remember, with many reporting record visitor numbers and excellent sales. It`s wonderful to think of all the exciting new art pieces finding their way into the homes of our visitors.
While the event wraps up tomorrow, there is still time to explore a few more of the studios ~ you never know what treasures you might find.

It`s exciting revisiting an artist and seeing how their work has evolved. Open Studios is a rare opportunity for artists to garner immediate feedback on a new style or technique ~ and we love Ingrid Windram`s latest work.
Open Studios ends this Sunday 28 September. If you`re in the region, be sure to indulge in an arty adventure.

This weekend is your last chance to see `Art Is`, an extraordinary collaborative exhibition at Christian Fletcher`s Dunsborough gallery. Now in its fourth year, Christian invited 24 Open Studios artists to interpret his photographs in their unique style.
These photos are a taste ~ be sure to visit the entire collection of works during Open Studios, on until Sunday 28 September.
"I always welcome the start of Open Studios with excitement, fear and loathing. The gallery is buzzing and the vibe is incredible. At the same time, I am nervous about how the work is being received so it`s always a thrill when it sells. I feel that is the validation we seek. As a participating artist, you put yourself on public display and give all you have to give."

Shimmering opals or seaglass found on her favourite beach, Victoria Gajardo is a silversmith inspired by Margaret River`s natural beauty.
It`s her first time in Open Studios, sharing Kay Gibson`s studio and forging a place within the region`s creative community. We hope you`ve enjoyed seeing her solder and texture, and perhaps even invested in a piece ~ or put Victoria on your weekend itinerary, as there`s just 2 days of Open Studios left!
❤️ FINAL WEEKEND @margaretriverregionopenstudios

With just three days of Open Studios remaining, this is your official reminder to make the most of the invitation!
Fi Wilkie`s Toot Studio is so named for the train driver who`d give a friendly toot each day, on what is now the Wadandi Track. Once a cowshed, it`s now filled with colour and creativity, as Fi paints bushland and birds, and hosts workshops too.
Congrats Fi ~ three days from now you`ll have completed 12 years of Open Studios! 🥂 ❤️
