Sell-out art party celebrates Margaret River Region Open Studios showcase

A sell-out art party was hosted on Sunday night to celebrate the start of the annual Margaret River Region Open Studios showcase. From 5.30-8pm at the Hilton Garden Hotel in Busselton on Sunday, guests enjoyed music by Serge Le Goueff and Mel Timms and live art by Karen Seaman and Chloe Wilder. Wine and canapes were also shared, with a sunset over the jetty lighting up the area. An event spokesperson said the wider event was drawing a crowd to the region. This year’s Margaret River Region Open Studios is off to a great start with artists reporting strong visitor numbers, a mix of people returning to the event and plenty of newcomers too from Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, overseas and of course lots of great community support,” they said. Margaret River Region Open Studios runs until September 22 with studios free to visit.
