Discovering the Artisans of Southern Tasmania

The Elm & the Raven Open Studio: A preview into the practice of artist & photographer, Emma Coombes on the Huon Valley Studio Art Trail

Art in the Huon Valley
A Tasmanian Creative Hub
At The Elm & the Raven, we welcomed over 100 visitors to our studio, from locals to travellers from across Australia. Many left with fond memories and original art.
In Crabtree, I transformed a rustic shed into a cozy gallery space, displaying a full exhibition of my photography and digital art.
I had planned to do some live painting, the steady stream of visitors kept me immersed in conversations about my work—there was little time to paint!

Held in October, it offers not only a chance to engage with artists but also an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Huon Valley at its most picturesque time of year.
With vibrant spring blossoms and crisp air, it’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of Tasmania’s creative community.
