ASWA is a Member focussed not-for-profit organisation that runs on an annual ‘break even’ financial model. We are aware that members might face difficulty from ‘natural perils’ during the Art Trail, including COVID restrictions.
As of 1st August 2021, with the Art Trail booklet now printed and over 80% of funds allocated, ASWA has fully committed to the Southern Art and Craft Trail continuing as planned and will not cancel the event.
As any COVID restrictions and other external forces are completely out of our control, we will support members with information as required to help them through this unpredictable time. We wish everyone the very best SACT 2021 experience.
This 12-month Map has dozens of Art and Craft outlets and venues shown so that the traveller will know exactly where to stop to find original works of art and craft. Journey through and explore the greater southern region of WA and discover the works of over 100 artists. Create your own ‘Art Trail’, visiting the natural environment, and drop in to sample delicious food and wine on the way.
The Southern Art and Craft Trail Map is available from many south west tourist centres, wineries, cafes, retail outlets and galleries.
