Kapiti Arts Trail

Celebrate 20 years of the Kāpiti Arts Trail!

This year we celebrate the twentieth year of the Kāpiti Arts Trail - two weekends of art immersion offering a rare glimpse into the studio spaces and workings of artists who are listed in the Kāpiti Arts Guide.

Stretching from Paekākāriki in the south (just 45 minutes from Wellington) to Ōtaki in the north, the Trail is a great way to check out Kāpiti’s vibrant art scene alongside delicious food, stunning walks and beaches, as well as enjoying many superb artists' gardens in Spring.

Entry is free so plan a day or weekend with your family or friends, there's loads of ideas and information on what to do on the beautiful Kāpiti Coast at www.kapiticoastnz.com/

There's something for everyone on the Arts Trail: painting in oils, watercolour or mixed media; fibre arts; ceramics; jewellery; photography; street art; digital art; tattoo; glass; and wood. Many artists will be demonstrating their creative process, and all will have their art available for sale, so come along to support quality New Zealand artists.

Alongside demos, hubs and galleries to visit, this year the Arts Trail also features Index Exhibitions in each area - a chance to get a taste of artists’ artworks in a curated collection before you visit their studio.

You can pick up a beautifully produced Kāpiti Arts Guide with over 78 listings from community centres, libraries, and many other venues from early October, or plan your Trail online through our website and interactive map.
