Whanganui Artists Open Studios is New Zealand’s longest running and highest profile arts trail event, with over 80 studios throughout the region participating in 2021. Held over two weekends in March every year, the event has become a showcase for established and emerging artists and a major event on Whanganui’s growing tourism calendar.

We’ve had the privilege of partnering with Artists Open Studios Trust for over 5 years as a sponsor, designer and web developer. In that time we’ve helped the Trust move from a paper-based system of studio management to a sophisticated online system that allows studios to register, set up and maintain their profiles and pay their registration fees all in one place.

The AOS website has now become a year-round source of information on Whanganui artists and studios, extending the value far beyond the event itself.
