Galleries & Art Studios
An unbelievable collection
of art, craft and local talent.
Is it something in the air? The relaxed lifestyle? The unrushed pace?
Whatever the reason, the Pyrenees region seems to have birthed more than its fair share of artists and craft makers.
So much so that the towns of Avoca and Beaufort have both converted their old railway stations into a collection of bustling boutique galleries.
Together they showcase an unimaginable collection of original work from our talented arts community.

And if that inspires you to rediscover your own inner artist, book yourself into one of our arts community’s many workshops.
