COROMANDEL LIFE 2016 SUMMER/EASTER
“We are excited to be announcing the 10th
Coromandel Artstour,” says Matt Sephton,
events co-ordinator. “The open studio event
will be held over two weekends: April 9/10
and 16/17, showcasing the vast artistic and
creative talent we have here in Coromandel
Town and beyond.”
This year, the tour will feature about 30
participating artists. “These artists will open
their studios and welcome you into their
environment”, Matt adds. “Where you see the
process and discover fresh new work as it is
created. And it’s an opportunity to purchase
direct from the creators.”

VISITORS ENJOY UNIQUE STUDIOS
“Many studios clustered within walking
distance of each other,” notes Matt. “In the
Driving Creek area alone there are over a
dozen artists. Visitors find their own way to the
studios, in their own time, sometimes finding
inspiration where they least expect it!”
