Each spring, the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail pops up like a creative treasure hunt – studios, galleries and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Grab your friends or whānau and make a day (or weekend) of it.
Save the date for 2026: Labour Weekend (24–26 October) and 31 October/1 November – perfect for a long weekend of art, inspiration and exploring.
Artist registrations are now open, with limited spaces available for those keen to be part of this much-loved event.
Artists are expected to welcome visitors across both weekends, sharing your creative spaces and your work with art lovers from across the region.
Before registering, please read the Kāpiti Coast Art Trail 2026 Terms & Conditions, for details on fees, eligibility and participation criteria.
Once registrations close at 5pm, Wednesday 15 April, organisers will be in touch with next steps and all the information you need to prepare for a successful Art Trail.
