The island artists and makers are busy…

Scribbling, sketching, stamping, throwing, weaving, carving, firing, printing, stitching, painting, shaping, glazing, photographing and creating their way towards the 2026 Straddie Arts Trail.

Have you walked the boardwalk down to Frenchman’s, then along the beach to Deadman’s? It’s definitely worth it—perfect in the cooler months… very “under the boardwalk, down by the sea” vibes
