The Bellarine Arts Trail – known informally as the BAT – is managed by the Barwon Heads Arts Council (BHAC). 2026 is its tenth year. It is a very popular event in Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove, Point Lonsdale, and Queenscliff that showcases local creatives, and the diversity of their work. Professional, emerging, and hobbyist creatives are represented.
This year, it takes place on Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1 2026. Visitors can explore artists' work in their own studios and in group studios, in galleries, and in community venues across our picturesque southern coastal towns. We are thrilled to support and showcase the region's creative talent and attract visitors to the Bellarine Peninsula.
Please check the BAT town maps on the BHAC website for wheelchair accessible venues, and those with refreshment availability and demonstrations.
Artworks will be available for sale, and entry to all venues is free.
The Bellarine Arts Trail is held on the land of the traditional owners, the Wadawurrung.
Barwon Heads Arts Council wishes to thank our major sponsor, Community Bank Barwon Heads, Bendigo Bank, and the Borough of Queenscliffe and Bellarine Property, for their generous support of this event.
