Ninety artists will be displaying their creativity at this year’s sixth annual Murwillumbah Arts Trail (MAT) that will be taking place in early May.
The arts trail will guide people across Murwillumbah, allowing them to discover art, meet the creators and engage with the arts at a range of sites including Proudfoots Lane, the MArts Precinct, The Citadel, Johnny Francos, Caldera Wildscapes Gallery, Gallery DownTown and the Tweed Regional Art Gallery.
‘We are delighted to have so many talented artists exhibiting in the Murwillumbah Arts Trail once again. MAT20 will see artists open their doors to give art enthusiasts a rare glimpse into inspiring spaces, the personalities behind the art and their art making,’ event manager, Peita Gardiman said.
