2026/2027 Guidebook

(download yours here for free!)

Inside the Art Trail Guidebook you'll find over 80 artists, galleries, collectives and creative spaces from across Hawke's Bay - a snapshot of our region’s artistic landscape. Keep it on the coffee table, tuck it into the glovebox, or return to it whenever you're looking for inspiration throughout the year.

Many of the artists featured in the Guidebook also take part in the annual Hawke's Bay Arts Trail, opening their studios and creative spaces during the November Trail weekends.

We hope these pages lead you to somewhere new, someone inspiring, and perhaps even a piece you'll treasure for years to come.

If you'd like a hard-copy, you can pick up a free Guidebook from The Hastings Arts Centre, Creative Arts Napier, or the Napier or Hastings iSites.
