Arts, Crafts and Shopping

Art galleries and gift shops are as much a part of the Swan Valley experience as the wineries. Talented local artisans regularly exhibit their work in galleries, studios and cafes throughout the region, from potters and Aboriginal painters, to sculptors and furniture makers. Download the Artisans on the Swan (PDF 1MB) for more details, and be sure to check out the Guildford Heritage Art Market, held on the third Sunday of every month.

A great way to spend the day exploring the region’s many retail attractions is to follow the Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail, which features art galleries and gift shops as well as purveyors of fresh produce.

Alternatively, take a walk along the James Street antique strip in Guildford and browse one of the largest ranges of second-hand wares outside of Perth. You’ll also encounter quaint home-décor and gift shops, art galleries and boutique clothing shops in this Swan Valley town. Or, for more modern shopping facilities, head to Midland, where you’ll find everything from large department stores to chic boutiques.
 
It is recommended that you contact gallery venues direct to find out about upcoming exhibitions. Contact the Swan Valley Visitor Centre for a list of retail outlets, art galleries and gift shops to plan your shopping spree.
