THE ARTS

A drive through Byron’s hinterland offers delightful surprises to the art lover.

It is refreshing to find so much that is new and inspiring in the high standard of work created by local artisans from Byron, many of whom have gone on to national and international recognition. Artists find much to inspire and motivate them in the diverse nature of the area, and the broad span of creativity this produces is evident in the handcrafted products available.

There is so much to see, discover artists in their studios, from glassblowers, master furniture craftsmen and wood turners, potters, photographers, painters, jewellers who work with a vast array of materials. Artists, showcase their creations, either in town, or follow the Arts trail through the Byron Arts and Industry Estate.

A drive through Byron’s hinterland offers delightful surprises to the art and nature lover, with charming art galleries, antiques and collectables and coffee shops nestled amongst the villages. A journey on the Second Hand & Collectables Trail will take you through rainforest and mountains, over sparkling rivers and along beautiful coastlines.
