Artisan Village in the Hills
Wander through an open-air artisan village in the Perth Hills, a space where stone carving, palm leaf art, live painting, and performance unfold across forest trails, riverside paths, and a natural amphitheatre. Pause for a nourishing refreshment and a cup of chai beneath the trees as conversations and creativity flow around you.
With installations, workshops, and moments of movement and music, the Art Sanctuary invites you to experience art in rhythm with nature, culture, and community.
