The KOAST – Tai Tokerau Art Trail has traditionally been held on Labour Weekend each year and gives trail goers the chance to discover local artists creating and selling their original work.
The Trail Guide is an important component of the Art Trail, helping us raise funds for the next year and an invaluable tool for visitors to the area to pick up and use as a guide for artists.
You will need a Trail Guide with the map to find the studios. The Trail Guide includes a short description about each artist taking part and gives you the address and number for each artist’s location. If you order through the website you will need to pay postage – around $5.00. You can pay us online for the postage into our bank account: 12 3091 0070031 01, but do email us to let us know your address etc and we’ll keep you in touch.
Once you have the Trail Guide the studios and exhibits are easy to find – they are marked with flags and numbers which match the Guide. Bring a car load of art lovers, and enjoy a day out!
