Warrnambool & District Easter Arts Festival

The Easter Arts Festival is designed to be an inclusive and celebratory series of arts events including sculpture, painting, literature, music, singing, performance, dance, photographic-art, film and all forms of textile art. Festival events are held at various venues during March and April. 

2025 Festival 

Plans are well underway for the 2025 Warrnambool & District Easter Arts Festival inc. 
So far 17 events have been planned and confirmed with some events still needing to be finalized. 
We are launching our festival on Friday March 28th for which invitations will be sent out. Once again the Warrnambool and district artists society will be hosting our exhibition and competition from the 29th March until the 4th May. Opening times are listed below. We are thrilled to announce that Ken Duncan internationally renowned photographer will be conducting a workshop in Warrnambool on Saturday 15th March. Keep an eye on the website for further details. 
After an extremely successful family fun day at Lake Pertobe last year, we are having another one this year on Saturday 19th April. This event was extremely popular last year with many families attending. 
Many of our old events will be returning again this year with the Blokes Brekky, Hymn Singalong, Ladies High Tea, Choral concert amongst some other events.
We are hoping to have some new concerts this year for your enjoyment. 
We are introducing an artist’s retreat workshop on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th April next year with a Masterclass by Grace Bailey, Intermediate class by Lorraine Deppeler and beginners class by Elaine Noske. Places are very limited for this event and further information and pricing will be available on the website shortly. 
We hope to see you at some of the events that we have created for your enrichment and enjoyment.
