Supported by Council’s Community Grants program, the Creswick Pavilion Arts Trail 2025 and little gallery Trentham’s Winter Show kick off this weekend.
The Creswick Pavilion Arts Trail 2025 is a curated weekend event, beginning with an opening night for artists to gather as a creative cohort. The Trail will provide a platform for artists to open their studios or exhibit and run workshops in the Creswick Town Hall, which will serve as an “Art Café” for those without personal studio access.
Visitors can explore the trail independently using a provided map or guide, or take advantage of the Art Bus for convenient transport to participating locations.
The little gallery Trentham is once again hosting their Winter Show fundraising art exhibition 12–28 July, with an opening event on Friday 11 July.
Each year the gallery invites regional artists in various stages of their careers, living in and around the Hepburn Shire and Macedon Ranges, to participate in their annual fundraising exhibition.
Mayor, Cr Don Henderson, said that it is important that we continue to support our creative community.
“Both of these events aim to foster connections between artists, local businesses and the community,” said Cr Don Henderson.
“We have a thriving art community and by supporting these through our Community Grants program, we can continue to celebrate our local artists,” said Cr Don Henderson.
