Huon Valley Studio Art Trail is supported by the Tasmanian Government through Events Tasmania. Discover Tasmania and find us on Discover Tasmania
2025: Now commencing its sixth year, the Huon Valley Studio Art Trail is firmly established on the Spring calendar of events in the beautiful Huon Valley and Far South.
Over three days, Artists and Makers will present their work in open studios, galleries, museums and pop-up spaces across the region: Far South, Dover to Grove, Tahune and Cygnet and surrounds. Food and Beverage providers and Accommodation venues complement the trail as a three day mini-break for visitors to Eat.Drink.Stay.Play.
Not just home to remarkable artists and makers, vignerons and cider makers and a destination for epicures of local produce, the Huon Valley and Far South is an extensive region of natural wonders and beauty in southern Tasmania.
If you haven't been on the trail, make a plan to visit us in October. We look forward to meeting you. Otherwise, welcome back!
2024: The Huon Valley Studio Art Trail ran for its fifth year offering an exciting and diverse collection of artworks by artists and makers living in this remarkably creative and beautiful region. Again the participating artists invited visitors to see them in their studios, hear about the creative process they use and what inspires and motivates them to produce their amazing artworks.
2023: The trail was highly successful with numbers attending but also to involve the whole of the Huon by involving the Far South community, Huonville/Grove to Geeveston and Cygnet and surrounds.
The purpose of establishing a Huon Valley-wide Art Trail, involving Far South, Dover to Grove and Cygnet & surrounds, is to raise the profile of the creative sector within the Huon Valley. We aim to give practising artists and makers an opportunity to showcase their place of work, engage new audiences, discuss and sell their work. A great opportunity to meet the maker, stay overnight, sample some great food and businesses whilst enjoying the beauty of the valley.
2022: Through the establishment of a co-opted Art Trail sub-committee, the management of the trail fell under the auspices of the Huon Valley Tourism Network. HVTN provided the bona fides of an ABN and Bank Account and committed to ongoing support for the art trail project.
2021: The Art and Away Art Trail encouraged visitors to stay longer and book ahead over a 3-day event, suggesting that travellers create their own long weekend in the Huon in November. This event involved Willie Smith's Apple shed and Kate Hill Wines as entry points and 20 Artists, 10 studios either side of the waterways from Deep Bay to Surges Bay.
2020: The trail was a response to help combat the economic impact of the Huon Valley fires and COVID 19 on professional artists and two key vineyards of the Valley. The event involved Home Hill Winery and Kate Hill Wines and 8 Artists, 4 on each side of the waterways between Deep Bay and Waterloo.
In 2020 and 2021 a small group of local Artists and Makers voluntarily organised and marketed self- funded annual Art Trails in the Huon Valley under the banner of TAMOH, Tasmanian Artists and Makers of the Huon, an Instagram account. It is important to note that TAMOH was not an incorporated body.
