Step beyond the gallery walls and discover the people, places and creative stories that make Geraldton's art community so special.

This exclusive collaborative tour, brought to you by Geraldton Open Studios & Surrounds (GOSS) and New Leaf Connect, takes you behind the scenes to visit a selection of local artists and their working studios. Rather than simply viewing finished artworks, you'll have the opportunity to meet artists in their own creative spaces, hear about their inspiration and processes, and experience the atmosphere of the places where their work comes to life.

Across the day, we'll visit four participating artists and studios, with around 45 minutes at each stop. The carefully curated route will showcase a diverse range of local creative practices, with the selection of artists varying between tour dates.

The experience also includes a relaxed lunch at an artist's studio – giving you more time to enjoy the surroundings, connect with fellow guests and experience the welcoming spirit of the local creative community.

With comfortable transport between studios and plenty of opportunities to meet the artists themselves, this is a wonderful way to experience GOSS from a more personal perspective.

Whether you're passionate about art, curious about the creative process, or simply looking for a different way to explore Geraldton, this is an opportunity to discover the region through the eyes, stories and studios of its local artists.
