Art & Culture

The Clare Valley is home to a vast array of local artists, creators, galleries and exhibitions.

Many artists have been inspired by the natural beauty, colours and authenticity of the region and this is reflected in their works.

All year round, you will find the unique work of local artists and craftspeople displayed in galleries, restaurants, wineries and pubs throughout the region.

Musicians and performers also enliven public spaces and entrance audiences during the region’s festivals and events.
