Your ticket comes in the form of a unique and collectable map with details about the studio locations, and a brief summary of each artists' work.  This map is your own personal tour guide and contains all the info you need to find the artists in their studios. They will be open and will welcome you into their space.
Tickets are only $12.50, from Bounty in Thames, and The Source in Coromandel.

We recommend you plan to visit 6 or 7 artists in a day, take a few days out and enjoy the people, the place and the work. check out the itineraries page for some ideas to plan your trip.


Look for the tall, bright orange flags, they mark the studio locations, then follow the arrows.

This is an opportunity to experience the sacred creative spaces of the artists, many of whom are working full time and have a strong reputation here in New Zealand and overseas.

Take a few days and soak up this inspirational experience.
