About this event
What to expect
The Bellarine Arts Trail – known informally as the BAT – is managed by the Barwon Heads Arts Council (BHAC). 2026 is its tenth year. It is a very popular event in Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale, and Queenscliff that showcases local creatives, and the diversity of their work. Professional, emerging, and hobbyist creatives are represented.
Visitors can explore artists' work in their own studios and in group studios, in galleries, and in community venues across picturesque southern coastal towns. Artworks will be available for sale, and entry to all venues is free. The Barwon Heads Arts Council are thrilled to support and showcase the region's creative talent and attract visitors to the Bellarine Peninsula.
Please check the Bellarine Arts Trail town maps on the Barwon Heads Arts Council website for wheelchair accessible venues, and those with refreshment availability and demonstrations.
The Bellarine Arts Trail is held on the land of the traditional owners, the Wadawurrung.
Barwon Heads Arts Council wishes to thank their major sponsor, Community Bank Barwon Heads, Bendigo Bank, and the Borough of Queenscliffe and Bellarine Property, for their generous support of this event.
