Discover the creative heart of Bassendean at Open Studios 2025.

Bassendean Open Studios is back for its third annual celebration of art, creativity, and community!

On Saturday and Sunday, 1–2 November 2025, the Town of Bassendean will open its doors to a free, family-friendly weekend of art, inviting visitors to explore the vibrant studios of local artists. Now a highlight on Perth’s cultural calendar, Bassendean Open Studios offers a unique behind-the-scenes experience. Visitors can meet the artists, explore their creative spaces, and witness the artistic process firsthand, an intimacy rarely available in traditional galleries.

From painting, sculpture, and ceramics to jewellery, printmaking, murals, and mixed media, there’s something for everyone. This year, 16 local artists will participate, each bringing their own story and style to the event.

Highlights include:

About the event

Bassendean Open Studios was created to break down barriers to art, promote local talent, and build community connections. Visitors can enjoy a self-guided art tour around town, to different artists' studios. The event also supports mental health and well-being by fostering inclusive, joyful, and engaging creative experiences.

Why visit?

Attending an open studio is more than viewing art, it’s a chance to step inside the personal workspace of an artist, learn about their inspiration, and understand their creative journey. Visitors will leave with a deeper connection to the artworks and the artists, while discovering local small businesses and celebrating the rich cultural life of Bassendean.
