This years theme: homegrown!
This year, Totterdown Arts Trail is going back to our roots. Our theme for 2026 is HOMEGROWN.
To us, Homegrown grows across three vital branches:
- Homegrown Humans: Totterdown is bursting with brilliant artists, makers, and performers. This theme is a celebration of our neighbours and the vibrant community spirit that makes art happen right on our doorsteps.
- Homegrown Hands: Nothing replaces the magic of real, tactile human craft. We’re putting handmade art front and centre – honouring the patience, practice, and heart that goes into making things by hand.
- Homegrown Ideas: Creativity isn’t just framed on a gallery wall. If you bake sourdough, train a giant pumpkin, weave, carve, brew, or write song lyrics – you are creating. All forms of craftsmanship and cultivate-it-yourself passion are welcome here.
You’ll notice vegetables popping up throughout our artwork this year as our cheeky symbol of local cultivation, but everything made with passion is welcome on the trail.
From paints to pumpkins, prints to preserves… if it’s made with heart in Totterdown, it belongs here. Come see what’s blooming!
