WHEN Bridgewater artist, Ainsley McPherson first approached the Loddon Shire in 2020 with her idea for the Loddon Valley Arts Trail, she never imagined things would turn out quite how they did in the last three years.
Initially delayed by lockdowns in 2021 and floods in 2022, Ainsley is looking forward to the trail finally going ahead in 2023.
She is encouraging as many artists as possible to join in the fun and get on board to make the trail a success.
“It is a great opportunity that will benefit all Loddon artists,” she said. “It’s also a fantastic and fun way to welcome tourists back to our region after the years of devastation we’ve all just endured.”
Ainsley’s studio shop on Main Street in Bridgewater, Arts of Olde, will be exhibiting works from local and regional artists over the Loddon Valley Arts Trail, including, Di Cardinal, Joe Jakitsch, Coral Calnan, Jan Broadbent, as well as Ainsley’s own significant body work.
The Loddon Valley Arts Trail will run on the weekend of October 7 and 8. Inglewood Community Neighbourhood House is co-ordinating planning for the trail and organiser Tenar Dwyer said registrations from Loddon artists to be part of the weekend festival would close next Wednesday.
