Call for Creatives to join 'Arts Trail After Hours'

Promote you Gig for the Surf Coast Arts Trail 'After Dark' Program

Do you have a gig, performance or creative event happening across the Surf Coast Shire on the evening of Saturday 1 August?

We’re looking for creative events to be part of Surf Coast Arts Trail After Hours.

Last year, more than 15,000 visitors explored the Surf Coast Arts Trail during the day, making it one of Australia’s largest open studio events. Arts Trail After Hours is designed to encourage those visitors to stay longer, discover more of the region and experience the Surf Coast’s vibrant creative scene after dark.

Whether you’re hosting live music, theatre, comedy, spoken word, dance, a workshop, exhibition opening or another creative event, we’d love to help promote it.

The Arts Trail After Hours guide will be promoted through Surf Coast Shire’s marketing channels, including the Surf Coast Events website and eNews, the Surf Coast Arts Trail website, social media and media coverage, helping your event reach thousands of potential visitors.

If your event is happening on the evening of Saturday 1 August 2026 within the Surf Coast Shire, we’d love to hear from you.
