Discover the art at the heart of your community.

From the 21 – 23 November 2025, BOP Open Studios invites you to step inside the creative spaces of more than 70 artists across the Bay of Plenty. Meet painters, potters, sculptors, printmakers and more, each opening their studio doors to share their craft, stories and inspiration.

This free, self-guided trail runs from Waihī Beach to Te Puke and offers a rare glimpse into the region’s thriving creative scene. Begin your journey at the Starting Point Gallery at The Kollective (open 17–23 November), where you can view a work from every participating artist and plan your trail with the help of friendly volunteers.

Proudly part of the Bay of Plenty Garden and Art Festival calendar, BOP Open Studios celebrates local creativity and connection, a must-do weekend for art lovers across Aotearoa.
