Whangarei Heads Arts Trail 2022
The past 2 years have been a difficult time for events of every sort and our own Whangarei Heads Arts Trail is no exception. 2020 saw the event cancelled but 2021 saw it bounce back, managed by Creative Northland, with a fantastic turn out from both local artists and visitors supporting the event. As the population of The Heads continues to grow we are delighted to find more new artists joining us each year. It's amazing to see the diversity and quality of work that is produced right on our own Whangarei doorstep.
W.H.A.T society is always ready to welcome new local members to the society and new guests to the Easter Arts Trail. We are an inclusive society happy to embrace work in all media and at all levels of skill. Our single most important requirement is that work is made by the artist/creator here in NZ. If you would like to know more about the Easter Arts Trail or our society please drop a line, we'd love to hear from you. And, to all of our great Whangarei community a big 'Thank You' for your continued support for the event. Please don't forget that if you are looking for unique Christmas gifts many of our Artists are happy to sell work direct from their studio so please check out their contact details on our web site and give them a call.

Fingers firmly crossed now for a supper summer free of restrictions and a fabulous Easter Arts Trail to look forward to.
