Kāpiti Coast artists and craftspeople will be flinging open their studio doors and inviting people inside for two weekends next month, for the region's annual Arts Trail.
After two tough years, the 21st Art Trail is the biggest one yet.
More than 300 artists' work will be on show in studios and in gallery group shows, from Raumati up the coast to Ōtaki Beach.
It's not only a huge cultural event for the region, it's hopefully a financial shot in the arm for hospitality too.
Lynn Freeman talks with two of the participating artists this year - award winning mosaic-maker Jane Santos, and jeweller Rebecca Bond, whose CV includes running the Kapiti Art Studio for differently abled people and being a WOW four-time finalist!
The Kāpiti Coast Art Trail is on next weekend (5-6 November) and the following one (12-13 November)
