About

The South Coast Business and Promotions Association is our not for profit umbrella organisation, making sure that the south coast thrives, and the South Coast Arts Trail celebrates and promotes artists that live, work or have strong connections to the South Coast of Wellington.

The South Coast Arts Trail extends from the seaside suburbs of Owhiro Bay, Island Bay and Houghton Bay to further inland through to Berhampore.

The South Coast Arts Trail features local artists, emerging and established, as well as artists from community organisations and budding artists from school organisations. From the works of painters, iconographers, sculptors, ceramicists, potters, textile artists and more, the South Coast Arts Trail is a creative showcase ready to be explored by all.
