Drumroll please...we have a fresh new look!🏖️☀️ 

Step onto the sand of Meelup, Yallingup or Prevelly beach on a sunny day and you'll find it dotted with umbrellas in a myriad of colours. This inviting scene inspired our new look and logo for 2024, as the beaches and bays inspire artists across the region every day. 

Thanks to Dorothy Davies and Emily Jackson for their art direction and graphic design, bringing the beach theme to life.
We are pleased to announce that Event Registrations are now open to all Margaret River region artists until 31 March 2024. 🧑‍🎨 

If you’re an artist working and residing in the City of Busselton or Augusta Margaret River Shire, west of Sues Road, we’d love to welcome you to the event.

Thousands of curious art lovers are drawn to the event each year, and this is an opportunity to have them visit your studio and experience your fantastic art.
