Bellingen Shire Arts Trail Weekend 7th - 8th November 2026The much-loved Bellingen Shire Arts Trail Weekend returns Saturday 7th of November and Sunday 8th of November, 10 am to 4 pm both days for its fourth year, inviting visitors to experience a vibrant weekend celebrating the creativity, diversity and talent that make our region so inspiring.
The Arts Trail offers the perfect opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes of Bellingen Shire while meeting the artists, makers and craftspeople who call it home. Wander through studios, galleries and shared creative spaces, discover the stories behind the work, and enjoy conversations with the people who bring our creative community to life.
This year, around 100 local artists and craftspeople will be exhibiting across 39 studios, galleries and shared venues throughout the Shire. From the coastal community of Urunga, through Raleigh and Bellingen, and up the escarpment to the mountain villages of Dorrigo and Dundurrabin, artists will open their doors and offer a rare glimpse into their creative practises.
Whether you're an art lover, collector or simply curious, the Arts Trail is an opportunity to experience the remarkable breadth of creativity found across the region. Along the way, you'll also find workshops, music and demonstrations at selected venues throughout the weekend.
More than an exhibition, the Arts Trail is a celebration of our vibrant creative community and the unique places that inspire it. Whether you're building a collection, seeking inspiration or simply looking for a memorable weekend exploring one of Australia's most beautiful regions, the Arts Trail offers something for everyone.
Be sure to plan your weekend in advance by using either a printed guide booklet (which contain maps) or the information on this website including Maps so that you don’t miss anything or anyone.
