Bellarine Arts Trail’s headline event – Taste of the Trail Exhibition – is set to be launched on October 19.

Taste of the Trail Exhibition features work from the 90-plus artists who will be participating in this year’s Bellarine Arts Trail.

The exhibition gives visitors an opportunity to see a sample of each artists’ work and plan their arts trail experience.

The Bellarine Arts Trail 2024 takes place on Saturday November 2 and Sunday November 3.

Artists from the Bellarine will be opening their studios and will be at exhibition venues and galleries in Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff to meet visitors, discuss, show and sell their work. The program features artists from across the Bellarine including established professional and emerging artists.

This free, artist led community event is run by volunteers on the Barwon Heads Arts Council with help from artists on the newly established Bellarine Arts Trail Committee.

One of the exhibition’s coordinators Viva Partos said that the exhibition served as “a snapshot of the Bellarine’s incredible artistic talent”.

“The exhibition ignites everyone’s excitement and energy for the Bellarine Arts Trail taking place on Melbourne Cup weekend,” she said.

“It helps them discover new work and plan which artists to visit in their studios and exhibition venues.”
