10am–4pm

Once again, the public will have an opportunity to meet the makers as the Hidden Gems group of artists open their studios over a weekend in May 2026. The studios are within 10 minutes of each other which makes it an enjoyable mini-arts trail.

In Haddon you have the studios of - Vida Pearson and Fred Ross. Haddon Community Centre is exhibiting artists from Golden Plains Arts and Rosie Grundell can be found in Lemajics Road, Scarsdale. Drive on to Steve Drew in Nintingbool Road and Red Echidna Studios at Smythes Creek and then to Raintree Art - (specialising in Aboriginal art) in Cambrian Hill. Their studios open twice a year as an opportunity to connect with art lovers and to show their skills in their chosen mediums.

For those looking to buy an original gift this is a wonderful opportunity – something local, handmade, and unique. They all work in different mediums and offer a diverse range of subject matter and style. The studios offer printmaking, artisan furniture, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and Aboriginal art.

A chance to explore your local region with the bonus of interesting artists to chat to and wonderful artwork to view. They look forward to welcoming visitors on both days.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
