Come get inspired and pick up an artwork at our 12th annual Raglan Arts Weekend

After a 2 year hiatus due to Covid, the Raglan Arts Weekend is BACK ON!

Come to Raglan over Labour Weekend, and spend a leisurely 3 days on a self guided art trail around the beautiful Whaingaroa area.

The Raglan Arts Weekend (RAW), now in its 12th 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. You can visit 40 artists working in an exciting and diverse range of media from recycled metal sculpture, airbrushing, textiles 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 and web site 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 where you can secure an original artwork at a fraction of the price.
