The winding drives between studios. Long lunches that turn into late afternoons. Evenings spent by the fire, book in hand, reliving the day’s discoveries. Conversations shared around the table long after the studios close…

This September, Margaret River Region Open Studios invites you to experience the region beyond studio walls, and to slow down long enough to enjoy everything in between.

Helping you do so is Presentation Partner @PrivatePropertiesWA, who have curated a collection of holiday homes perfectly suited to your Open Studios escape. Transform a day of studio-hopping into a getaway immersed in creativity, connection, and place, at one of those short stays:

1. Summer of 81, Dunsborough
2. Woody Nook, Dunsborough
3. Forest Beach House, Dunsborough
4. Eagle Bay Beach House, Eagle Bay
5. Cooinda, Yallingup

Open Studios is all about discovering the processes, inspiration and stories behind each artwork. And exploring the place where the magic happens.

Fi Wilkie is one of the amazing artists who has taken part in all 12 Margaret River Region Open Studios events, and is gearing up for her lucky 13th.

Inspiration often comes from `wandering out yonder` as she explores Western Australia`s remote, ochre landscapes, or the birdlife and plants in the Wadandi Track just beyond her back fence. Visit Fi to thumb through sketch books, see paintings come to life and paper transformed into delicate bottlebrush collages.

🔥THE CABIN COLLECTION X MRROS🎨
Cabin Fever is a raucous celebration of winter down south: decadent meals, raiding the wine cellar, bonfires and live music. This year, Open Studios is joining the fun with an exhibition showcasing 10 artists, giving revellers a sneak preview of what’s to come in September.

Throughout the weekend Friday 17 to Sunday 19 July, Margaret River Region Open Studios will present The Cabin Collection, a pop-up gallery showcasing works from 10 local artists: Georgia Zoric, Ian Mutch, Karl Heussenstamm, Gina Denford, Martin Pavey, Marcelle Egberts, Kirsty Watkins, Holly Perry, Suzy French, Tammy Scott.

Even better, 100% of gallery commissions will be donated to River Angels, a volunteer-run charity supporting local families impacted by cancer.

It’s a celebration of local creativity and community spirit right in the middle of the festival action.

It takes place at The Cabin, Saltwater Busselton. Check out Cabin Fever’s website for further details on live music, food trucks and family friendly activities taking place adjacent to the art.
