If you are living in the greater southern region of WA and are an artist, art group, retail outlet with art or a gallery, we would love you to become part of the 2025 annual Southern Art and Craft Trail.

The ArtSouthWA website enables visitors to find artists geographically, and read about their works. They can also interact through Facebook and Instagram.

In 2025 the Southern Art + Craft Trail will be in its 22nd year. It typically includes the towns of Albany, Torbay, Kronkup, Little Grove, Denmark, Walpole, Mount Barker, Kojonup, Manjimup and Gnowangerup… among others.

In 2024, 74 different venues plus 16 school displays, including cafes, wineries, galleries, local businesses, community halls, libraries, art centres, studios and pop-up spaces exhibited artworks. The variety of venues and range of professional Artists showed huge diversity of Arts and Crafts – from textiles, painting, sculpture and jewellery, to printmaking, photography, pottery and woodcraft.

As in 2024, our 2025 Art Trail artists will hold demonstrations and talks within their working studio context… incorporating an overall sense of welcome and community spirit into the event.

The 2024 Southern Art and Craft Trail booklet remains relevant to finding our artists and sponsors throughout 2024/5, and is available here. From mid August 2025, the new 2025 Trail booklet will be found in multiple locations throughout the Southern Regions of WA – in Visitor Centres, Libraries, Local Councils, Galleries, Cafes, and other ‘arty’ outlets. 15,000 new 2025 Art Trail booklets will be delivered to areas including Perth, Busselton/Margaret River, Manjimup, Denmark, Albany, Mt Barker, Kojonup, Katanning – right through to Esperance. The booklet will guide you through the complete two weeks of the 2025 Southern Art and Craft Trail, helping you to discover some amazing artworks.

A copy of last years 2024 Trail booklet is below. It will give you an idea of the wonderful talent that will be on offer during this year’s coming 2025 Southern Art and Craft Trail.  Many of our artists operate all year round, making this booklet a valuable art resource any time.
