The Straddie Arts Trail is a community driven project designed to showcase artists and makers working on or inspired by Straddie.

“It turns out that creativity isn’t some rare gift to be enjoyed by the lucky few—it’s a natural part of human thinking and behavior. In too many of us it gets blocked. But it can be unblocked. And unblocking that creative spark can have far-reaching implications for yourself, your organization, and your community."
- TOM KELLEY
The Straddie Arts Trail provides locals and visitors to our beautiful island with the unique chance to visit artists in their private studios, at pop up galleries, stalls, workshops and events. Visitors have the chance to learn about the artists' creative process, see their work and even make an art investment to call their own!
This is a free event held annually. It's an opportunity to be inspired by our islands diversely talented artists and makers, all whilst enjoying the natural wonders of Straddie.
