Exhibition - Hawke’s Bay Arts Trail - Arts Trail Guidebook artists

As part of the Hawke’s Bay Arts Trail 2026, Creative Arts Napier is proud to present a special group exhibition featuring five artists from the Arts Trail Guidebook who do not have an open studio for this year’s event.

Whether you are following the Arts Trail, looking to meet local artists, or simply seeking inspiration, CAN provides an accessible and welcoming space to explore the work of these talented creatives. Visitors will be able to view and purchase original artworks while learning more about each artist’s practice.

Located in the heart of Napier, CAN is delighted to support artists participating in the Arts Trail and to provide a dedicated exhibition space that ensures their work remains part of this region-wide celebration of art and creativity.

Featured Artists:

• Ken Sando (Foyer Space)
• Jodi Ferris (Workshop Space)
• Chrissie Pearse (Workshop Space)
• Michelle Fraser (Workshop Space)
• Erica Toh (Workshop Space)

Come and discover an inspiring collection of local art and connect with the creativity that makes Hawke’s Bay such a dynamic cultural destination.

The Guidebook is one of the most effective ways for artists to be discovered locally, connecting their work with audiences, collectors, and visitors across the region.

The Hawke’s Bay Art Trail Guidebook can be used year-round. Pick yours up from Hastings Arts Centre (106 Russell St South), Creative Arts Napier (16 Byron St), or a regional isite.
