A visit to Open Studios Sunshine Coast provides a rare opportunity to see behind the scenes, attend workshops and meet and purchase from some of our region’s most talented artisans. With many studios dotted along the trail, we encourage you to take a self-guided tour behind the scenes and discover the hidden creativity of artists living and working in the Sunshine Coast’s hinterland and coastal communities.
