7–8 November 2026
This November, discover the creative spirit of the Bellingen Shire as artists, makers and performers open their doors for the fourth annual Bellingen Shire Arts Trail Weekend.
Over two inspiring days, visitors can follow a trail of open studios, galleries and shared creative spaces stretching from the coastal village of Urunga through Bellingen and Raleigh in the valley to the lush hinterland communities of Dorrigo and Dundurrabin.
Meet the artists behind the work, gain insight into their creative processes and explore a diverse range of art forms, including painting, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, jewellery, photography and contemporary craft. It’s also an opportunity to discover emerging talent, view new work by established artists and purchase directly from local creatives.
Adding to the festival atmosphere, selected venues will host live music, dance performances and artist talks throughout the weekend.
Combining art, culture and the natural beauty of one of Australia’s most picturesque regions, the Bellingen Shire Arts Trail Weekend offers the perfect excuse for a creative getaway on the Mid North Coast.
