Raglan Arts Weekend over Labour Weekend 2020

Join us over Labour Weekend for the Raglan Arts Weekend, our much anticipated annual open studio art event. We've moved from Easter and looking forward to welcoming everyone to our sunny seaside town. Come spoil yourselves!

The Raglan Arts Weekend (RAW), now in its 11th year, draws thousands of art aficionados from across the country who come to get a sneak peek into the creative process of Raglan's local talent. We've got lots of new artists this year plus some of our established favourites, some of these even experimenting with new 'post lockdown' styles. You can visit 35 artists working in an exciting and diverse range of media from recycled metal sculpture, carved surfboards and ceramics to jewellery, photography and taxidermy, as well as the more traditional art forms, such as painting and illustration.

RAW is a self-guided tour, with visitors using the newly redesigned Arts Trail map to help them plot their own routes. You can start your tour at the Old School Arts Centre where you can pick up a brochure, see some of the artist studios, get a feel for the art from each studio, and plan the rest of your day or weekend. There will also be a Preview Exhibition and 300x300 show where you can pick up a limited artwork for a fraction of the original price.
