This year’s Arts Trail has been selected from over 80 submissions on the theme Spectrum; An Exploration. In this Trail, we seek to engage
with the great number of spectrums through which experience in our daily lives, be it colour, light, form, neurodivergence, sexuality, ability, belief and concept. The selection includes artists of various disciplines from student, community and practising professionals. We hope you enjoy the scope of the trail and the ingenuity of the artist’s insights.

Exhibitions are open daily from 10.30 to 6pm, individual exhibitions may be subject to change.
