Discover Art in the Heart of Nature
This year, over the Labour Day Long Weekend, the Tamborine Mountain Arts Trail celebrates the incredible talent of local artists, with stunning works displayed across a variety of unique venues.
We invite you to join us, take in the scenery, and enjoy a beautiful day exploring personal art studios and creative hubs dotted throughout the Tamborine Mountain.
You’ll meet painters, sculptors, potters, textile artists and more – and get to experience their work up close and personal.
This experience offers a rare chance to hear the stories behind the art, see the creative process, and maybe even find a unique piece for your own collection, all while supporting the artist directly.
This is shaping up to be a fantastic day out; perfect to enjoy with a friend or two. And of course, we’ll take care of everything.
