Artists sought for Northern Bellarine Peninsula Arts Trail

ARTISTS are being sought to join the next edition of the Northern Bellarine Peninsula Arts Trail, which will be held in April.

Event convenors Linda Gallus and Kaye Clancy said after a successful inaugural trail last year, the Northern Bellarine Peninsula Arts Trail was again inviting artists who owned their own studios for expressions of interest to take part.

The arts trail’s aim is to network locally and to get artists to meet each other, make friendships and to nurture, and also to create a supportive environment for those who are usually working away in their own studios.

Participating artists will need to be living on the Northern Bellarine Peninsula, which includes Moolap, Leopold, Drysdale, Curlewis, Clifton Springs, Portarlington, St Leonards, Indented Head, Mannerim and Wallington.

Being involved in the arts trail could involve exhibiting, selling and demonstrating your techniques to the public in your own studio or local gallery or café.

Ms Clancy and Ms Gallus said despite the rainy weather, the 2019 event attracted huge numbers of people visiting from far and wide.

The Northern Bellarine Peninsula Arts Trail will be take place on the weekend of April 10-11, 2021.

The City of Greater Geelong is promoting this event as part of Geelong Design Week, and it is also supported by Springdale Neighbourhood Centre, Bendigo Bank, and Blue Ink Incorporated.

Expressions of interest close at the end of this month.
