Coast Village Road presents our Coast Village Week
Art Walk – ‘Beyond the Canvas’
A Celebration of The Arts
Thursday, September 11, 2025 | 4 p.m. - 7 p.m.
Join us for an evening where art transcends the boundaries of the canvas and captivates the creativity of our community.
Beyond the Canvas is more than just an art walk; it is an extravaganza celebrating the many mediums of art and the vibrancy of the community. Art isn’t limited to the stroke of a brush or the frame of a canvas and our event will showcase just that. We welcome art admirers and collectors, performing art enthusiasts, and casual strollers to join us for this extraordinary evening!
Discover an array of inspiration that will be gracing the length of Coast Village Road from the Olive Mill roundabout to Butterfly Lane.
