Gympie Region Studio Trails is an annual initiative of Gympie Regional Gallery to support the cultural and economic development of the local creative sector in the Gympie region. Studio Trails gives visual artists, artisans, heritage workers and designers an opportunity to work as part of a network to share their passion across the region and beyond.
For Studio Trails 2024, the event will be divided into four separate trails, organised by easy driving routes. Trails will be organised generally by East, West, North, and South, but will be flexible until final studios are confirmed. Artists are encouraged to nominate for as many dates as they prefer.
Each Trail will open for one weekend from 10am – 4pm, however central Gympie will be open for all four weekends.
Artists located in central Gympie are particularly encouraged to nominate for multiple weekends.
The weekend dates are:
Trail 1 |
Gympie and surrounds to the East |
6 & 7 July 2024 |
Trail 2 |
Gympie and surrounds to the West |
13 & 14 July 2024 |
Trail 3 |
Gympie and surrounds to the North |
20 & 21 July 2024 |
Trail 4 |
Gympie and surrounds to the South |

In 2024 the Studio Trails program will be extended to include different types of destination for those who do not have a studio.
