Artists from the Macedon Ranges and surrounds will be opening their studios for the first time this year to kick off the artistic season.
The first open studios will take place on March 23 and 24, with 11 artists welcoming in the public to view their artistic expressions, processes and working environments.
Artists Sue Anson said the events are being held slightly earlier than previous years to avoid clashing with the falling autumn leaves.
“It’s a little bit easier for people to access the area, [as previously] people found it difficult to find parking,” she said.
“There’s a couple of new studios to go to this time. Most of us are organised, but it’s coming around quickly.”
Sue said she is intending to show ink work, fabric printing and the printmaking technique drypoint.
While fellow artist Christine Turner said she will be displaying her experimental work, which includes lots of different mediums, drawings and pastel colours.
Brochures will be at The Gallery, Mt Macedon and Mt Macedon Trading Post, as well as in local cafes and businesses in the area.
The studios are within a short distance from each other and are marked on a map, and there will also be a display at Top of the Range Tearooms on the summit of Mount Macedon.
