Noosa Art & Wellness Trail - Small Group Tag-along Tour with car-pooling

Noosaville, Sunshine Coast, AU

ABOUT THE TOUR
This unique, small-group tag-along tour is an authentic, immersive way to discover the lesser-known gems of Noosa, away from the well-trodden tourist trails, while connecting with the local community through the arts.
Art has always been more than just an aesthetic experience—it’s a pathway to wellbeing. Whether through painting, sculpture, photography, or mixed media, engaging with the arts allows us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves.
The inaugural Noosa Art & Wellness Tour celebrates this connection, coinciding with Noosa Open Studios 2025 launch and World Mental Health Day on October 10th.
It’s an opportunity to step inside the intimate creative spaces of local artists, immerse yourself in their stories, and experience first-hand how the process of making and sharing art fosters mindfulness, resilience, and joy.
By joining this tour, you’re not only supporting our vibrant local arts community but also celebrating the role creativity plays in nurturing mental health and wellbeing.
It's a day to explore, connect and be inspired!
