Creative Trails 2024

Applications for Creative Trails 2 + 3 November 2024 now open.
Click here for more information and to apply.
Applications close Monday 5 August, 3pm.

Take a tour or go solo to step behind studio doors and uncover an eclectic world of creative spaces.

EDGE Creative Trails Midjuburi is your chance to weave through warehouses and peek down curious corridors as you explore artist studios, independent galleries and artist run initiatives.

Across the weekend 12 & 13 August explore spaces across Sydenham, Tempe, St Peters, Marrickville and Dulwich Hill. You’ll meet local artists and makers, view works in progress, participate in workshops or talks and purchase art at studio prices.

Follow the self guided map or book a tour. Tours will guide you along the trails – walk, cycle, or bus between spaces or capture your experience on camera in a photographic tour. Spaces for tours are limited so if you miss out there is a digital treasure hunt in which you can follow cryptic clues and riddles to discover your next destination.

Connect with your creative community at EDGE Creative Trails Midjuburi.
