Peel Open Studios is back for 2023, with more than 75 visual artists from the Peel region opening their studio doors to the public for a unique look into their working space and artistic process.

From April 15 to 23, artists will welcome visitors into their creative spaces to witness works of art across different mediums including painting, ceramics, video and photography, textiles, sculpture and much more.

Now in its fourth year, the Peel Open Studios program provides an opportunity to highlight local talents and support and celebrate artists in the community.

“Peel Open Studios provides the perfect chance to have insight into Mandurah’s incredible and abundant creative community,” Mayor Rhys Williams said.

“This free, family friendly event continues to inspire and connect our local creatives and community, so I encourage everyone to get curious and get involved.”

On top of individual artists, a number of art collectives and galleries are also opening their doors as part of Peel Open Studios including Arts Culture Peel, Mandurah Plein Air Artists, Two Muddy Men, Bouvard Art Collective, plus more.
