Thank you to Bendigo Bank Sponsors of Arcadian Artists Trail 2026

Group of people holding a large check at Bendigo Bank event.
Community members celebrate sponsorship at Bendigo Bank for Arcadian Artists Trail 2026.

2026 Arcadian Artists Trail has been generously sponsored again this year by Galston & District Community Bank Branch of the Bendigo Bank. The Sponsorship funds will significantly assist in achieving our goal of supporting the arts amongst the local community and beyond to those in the wider Sydney region.

The Arcadian Artists committee members were invited to receive our cheque at the bank’s ceremony celebrating the auspicious occasion of its contribution of over $4,000 000.00 to our local community.

The Bendigo Bank in Galston is known for its community minded assistance in a variety of activities and events, and this year’s sponsorship will greatly enhance the preparation and running of the Arcadian Artists Trail once again. It is an important community event that brings the gift of fun and creativity to our stunning area.

People from all parts of Sydney are drawn to our rural surrounds to enjoy a delightful weekend exploring the five private studios whose doors are open to guests. Visitors can view and purchase beautiful handmade items and speak directly to the talented artists.The Artists have been working diligently to ensure that this year’s trail has more unique artworks than ever before!

Further information about the Trail will come later in the year, but for now, place the dates in your diary and prioritise this special event. We will be supporting Arcadia Primary School through a fund raising barbeque at one of our venues and the local CWA will be serving tea and scones in support of charity at another.

The Arcadian Artists website www.arcadianartists.net.au has further information about the weekend and closer to the event a brochure with a map will be distributed. Look out for the signs too! They will lead you to each studio.

This year the Arcadian Artists Trail weekend will be on Saturday and Sunday 7th and 8th November. Entry is free.
