Blackwood River Arts Trail 2024 (expired event)

A vibrant arts trail showcasing a range of art forms in artist studios, small galleries and other venues in the heart of the WA's South West.

The Blackwood River Arts Trail (BRAT) is the must-see arts event in the South West of Western Australia held around Easter each year. It offers an exciting range of experiences for visitors to enjoy in the Blackwood River region.

Discover the work of 67 artists in and around the towns of Nannup, Bridgetown, Balingup, Boyup Brook, Greenbushes and Donnybrook as they open their home studios for an intriguing glimpse into their processes and creative environments, or visit exhibitions held in venues including cafes, gardens, gift shops, small galleries and collective spaces.

Many of the 35 venues are within or close to town centres, allowing you to wander the character-filled streets of beautiful regional towns and villages. A range of art forms can be found along the trail including sculpture, painting, ceramics, textile and wearable art, mosaics, weaving, felting, illustration and photography.

A variety of creative workshops are also on offer by artists along the trail, and the concurrent Blackwood River Film Festival will showcase local and national talents on the first and third weekends in Bridgetown and Nannup.
