Overview

If you've always been curious to peek behind the curtain in artist's studios, now is your chance to explore creative spaces at the EDGE Creative Trails Midjuburi. This free two-day festival hosted by the Inner West Council, takes place across 28 artist studios, independent galleries and artist-run initiatives on Saturday, August 12 and Sunday, August 13, from 11am until 4pm.

Meet local artists and makers, see works in progress, watch art demonstrations, participate in workshops and join artist talks. You can even buy art created by talented local artists at studio prices at locations in Sydenham, Tempe, St Peters, Marrickville and Dulwich Hill.

Some highlights include the 'August Artist Talks' at Airspace Studio where artists will candidly share their creative processes, a ceramic tableware hand-building demonstration at Smith Street Studios and upcycling fabrics with Shibori dyeing at Monster Mouse Studios. For a full list of all the happenings check out the website.

Attendees can follow the self-guided map — available on the Inner West Council's website — or book a tour.

These tours will guide you along the artist's trail. You can walk, cycle, or bus between spaces or capture your time with a photographic tour. Spaces on these tours are limited, but if you miss out you can guide yourself to the next destination via QR codes hidden at the locations taking part in Creative Trails.

EDGE Creative Trails Midjuburi is taking place across the Inner West at select studios, independent galleries and artist-run initiatives from 12–13 August from 11am until 4pm. Find out more information — including a map of the locations — about this free event on the website.
